Ibrahima Konate looks destined to leave Liverpool this summer after failing to agree a new contract at Anfield. The French international‚ who arrived on Merseyside in 2021 and has been a key part of Liverpool's defence under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot‚ will be out of contract on July 1 if he cannot strike new terms with the club. Konate was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid last summer but ended up staying at Anfield‚ prompting several months of negotiations between Liverpool and the defender as the club attempted to tie down his future.
