Multiple outlets report that Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté is set to leave the club on a free transfer after negotiations over a contract extension fail to reach an agreement. The reports say Konaté’s current deal is nearing its end and that his representatives have been in discussions with Liverpool to extend his stay at Anfield. However, the talks have not progressed to a new contract, and Konaté is therefore expected to depart when his existing contract expires.
The Guardian adds that the defender is a France international and links his future to potential interest from clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, following the prospect of a free transfer. The Punch similarly reports that Konaté is set to leave Liverpool as a free agent, citing the breakdown in contract negotiations. Across the reports, the central point is that Liverpool and Konaté do not appear to be close to agreeing new terms, making a departure without a transfer fee the most likely outcome. No final confirmation from the club or player is included in the provided excerpts.
