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. Journalist Romain Collet Gaudin insists he is even a priority, and adds Maghnes Akliouche (AS Monaco’s 22-year-old striker/midfielder).
Akliouche et Konaté sont les 2 cibles prioritaires du PSG pour le mercato estival 2025 ! #TeamPSG

Nothing impossible, especially as this journalist is generally reliable. In any case, it makes sense for PSG to be interested in these two very talented players, who could be great additions to its project. Not just because they’re French, but also because they have real qualities and a future. And with a mentality that would suit coach Luis Enrique’s philosophy perfectly. Akliouche in particular, with his versatility and team spirit.
Now, we must remain cautious. The mercato is still a long way off and a lot can happen. PSG may have other leads, just as other clubs may try their luck with Konaté and Akliouche.
Not to mention that Liverpool and Monaco won’t necessarily sell, or not easily. There is also talk of an extension for the former. Both players are said to be interested in Paris, but that doesn’t guarantee anything. Let’s wait for something concrete.
