Liverpool Scout Jérémy Jacquet as Slot Criticizes Konaté and Exit Talk Grows

The centre-back enters January in the final six months of his deal, creating pressure on Liverpool to decide quickly.

Overview

  • Arne Slot said Ibrahima Konaté has been "a bit too much at the crime scene" after the defender conceded the penalty that helped Leeds rally for a 3-3 draw.
  • Konaté is in the final year of his contract, with reports that Real Madrid have stepped back as Bayern Munich and Paris Saint‑Germain have been credited with interest.
  • Liverpool have scouted Rennes defender Jérémy Jacquet extensively this season, with reporting also noting prior Arsenal interest in the France youth international.
  • Football Insider claims the club would accept around £15 million for Konaté in January if a replacement is secured, a figure presented in reports rather than confirmed by Liverpool.
  • Coverage highlights a season of recurring errors for Konaté, including seven substitutions and widespread pundit criticism following his foul on Wilfried Gnonto at Elland Road.
