Overview
- Ibrahima Konaté was at fault in key moments of Liverpool's 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, drawing sharp on-air criticism from Jamie Carragher for his aerial decision-making and away form.
- Konaté is under contract until summer 2026, with an estimated market value near €55 million, keeping Liverpool’s options open but raising timing questions on any sale.
- BILD reports that Bayern Munich are keen on Konaté as a potential successor to Dayot Upamecano, with Paris Saint‑Germain also credited with interest.
- Football Insider reports that Konaté has rejected a new deal and is likely to leave next summer, and that Liverpool are preparing to sign a centre-back in January or at season’s end.
- Anfield Watch cites Caught Offside in naming Wolfsburg’s Konstantinos Koulierakis as a leading long-term target, with Marc Guehi also among the defenders being assessed.
