Ibrahima Konate is set to leave Liverpool after his contract is not renewed, according to reports. The 27-year-old defender joined Liverpool in 2021 from RB Leipzig for a transfer fee reported as £36 million (about $48 million). Earlier, Konate had indicated he was close to reaching an agreement on a new contract with the club, suggesting negotiations had been underway. With the current deal ending without renewal, Liverpool’s squad planning will need to adjust in the defensive positions. While details of timing beyond the contract decision are not provided in the available reporting, the announcement implies Konate’s departure will occur at the end of his current contract period. The reports describe the situation as a contract non-renewal rather than a transfer deal, and they do not include information on Konate’s next club or any further conditions.
