Overview
- L'Equipe, via Football365, reports Liverpool have submitted a new contract proposal to Ibrahima Konaté and are confident he will eventually accept.
- No agreement is public, and the centre-back is in the final year of his deal, making him eligible to discuss a pre-contract with foreign clubs from January 1.
- TEAMtalk, cited by CaughtOffside, says Liverpool would listen to January bids in the region of £40–50 million, with the player described as open to options.
- Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are among the clubs linked, while recent criticism of Konaté’s inconsistent form has been highlighted by John Barnes.
- Reports link Liverpool with potential replacements such as Marc Guéhi and Alessandro Bastoni, with Bastoni suggested to cost around £80m and unlikely to move in January.
