Liverpool has started seriously considering the departure of Ibrahima Konaté in this transfer window if they fail to seal his renewal. Just a few days away from the French center-back entering the final year of his contract with the Reds, the board is beginning to accept that, if there is no progress in the talks, it would be better to seek a sale now than to risk losing him for free in 2025.

Konaté, 26, has been a key piece in the English team's defense since his arrival from RB Leipzig in 2021. His physical strength, ability to anticipate, and good ball distribution have made him one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League. However, the lack of progress in contract extension negotiations has raised concerns at Anfield.

Real Madrid wants to sign Konaté

Meanwhile, there are already heavyweight suitors in the market. Real Madrid has closely followed the French center-back, considering his signing to strengthen a defense that needs renewal following Militao's physical problems and Alaba's inconsistency. The Madrid club sees positively a possible free transfer next year, although they do not rule out speeding things up if Liverpool decides to sell this summer.

The English club's stance is clear: if there is no long-term commitment, they will look for a profitable exit. Although Merseyside trusts in retaining Konaté, they are aware of the risk of repeating complicated contractual situations like the one they are currently facing with other key players in the squad. Time is running out, and the future of the French international is more uncertain than ever.
