Overview
- Fabrizio Romano reports Liverpool have presented contract terms to Ibrahima Konaté and are awaiting his response, with the defender saying his agents are negotiating and he hopes to decide soon.
- With his deal running to summer 2026, Konaté can discuss a free transfer with overseas clubs from January under FIFA rules.
- Some reports, including Sacha Tavolieri’s, describe Liverpool’s proposal as a final take‑it‑or‑leave‑it offer that would make him one of the club’s highest earners.
- Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are tracking the situation, and Foot Mercato reports Bayern have already held talks with Konaté’s entourage.
- Liverpool are accelerating contingency plans for a potential replacement such as Marc Guehi, while analyst Stefan Borson warns a free exit could forfeit roughly £50 million in resale value.
