Paris Saint-Germain has taken a firm step in its ambition to strengthen its defense with a player also on Real Madrid's agenda: Ibrahima Konaté. The French center-back from Liverpool has become a priority for the Parisian team, which is not willing to skimp on resources to sign him this summer. With the defender's contract approaching its final 12 months, PSG intends to capitalize on the lack of progress in his renewal to make a move.

Trained at RB Leipzig and established in the Premier League since his arrival in 2021, Konaté has become a key piece in Anfield's defense. His reliability and ability to excel in physical duels have made him Virgil van Dijk's regular partner in the central axis. Last season, he played 37 matches and also contributed offensively, increasing his value in the market.

PSG Wants to Sign Konaté

In Paris, the uncertainty surrounding Marquinhos after more than a decade at the club has sped up the search for a dependable center-back. For Luis Enrique, Konaté's return to his hometown would be a strategic move for both the present and the future. The player, who demands a high salary to renew at Liverpool, could be tempted by PSG's ambitious project.

On the other hand, the Reds seem unwilling to meet his salary demands and could be open to negotiating an exit. With several defensive fronts open, the English club might prioritize a sale this summer rather than risk losing him for free later on. Meanwhile, PSG is preparing for its final offensive.
