Liverpool Edge Closer to New Ibrahima Konaté Deal
Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool)
October 2025
Liverpool are close to securing Ibrahima Konaté to a new contract despite links to Real Madrid on a free. The 26-year-old defender, eligible to negotiate with foreign clubs in January, appears committed to staying at Anfield under Arne Slot’s leadership.
L’Équipe reports discussions are advancing though some terms remain unresolved. Konaté’s willingness to stay reflects faith in Slot’s project. With his current deal set to expire in 2026, Liverpool are eager to avoid losing a key defender for nothing.
