Ibrahima Konaté, the 25-year-old central defender for the French national team and Liverpool (under contract until 2026), is in talks to extend his contract. But he has also been mentioned as a target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Caughtoffside reports this Wednesday that there is indeed a possibility for Paris.
“Ibrahima Konaté is not happy with Liverpool’s current offer, and is turning it down.
Liverpool want around €50m and PSG are still interested in the French international!
Real Madrid are rivals in this dossier, but are only prepared to make an offer of €25m. That’s too little for Liverpool.
The English club is already thinking about his replacement: Marc Guehi.”
A relatively credible announcement, but one can only remain cautious in this period of rumors. Konaté’s contractual situation is particularly attractive. A situation which calls for caution, as there is often a “game” involved in a complicated extension.
The player’s agent may try to apply pressure, and the media can get carried away a little too quickly. Nevertheless, we can agree that PSG may be interested in this excellent defender, who is still young and in love with Paris.
However, there’s nothing definite here. Liverpool may still have something to say about the matter, and Real Madrid have been mentioned by several media as being in the running. Let’s wait and see.
