Ibrahima Konaté, the 26-year-old central defender with the French national team and Liverpool (under contract until 2026), is in talks to extend his contract. However, nothing is easy at the moment, and a departure is also being discussed. Paris Saint-Germain, in particular, are rumored to be interested in the player for the mercato. Foot Mercato reports this Monday that he will be leaving the club, and that PSG are well on the way. Even if they are behind a competitor.
“According to our information, Ibrahima Konaté would like to change air next summer, at the end of his contract. Aware that the situation was not to his advantage, the Mersey club had launched talks about an extension, but so far they have come to nothing.
According to our information, several clubs are already aware of the situation and on the lookout for a possible signature. These include Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Born in Paris, could Konaté be interested in signing for the French capital? Other clubs are interested in signing him for free. The main interested party has a preference for Real Madrid.»
We remain cautious, there’s nothing certain about rumours. Particularly as the PSG mercato gets off to a strong start with rumours, with the feeling that the media were holding back until after the Club World Cup.
Konaté is a possibility, and a move to Paris, a city he loves, could tempt him. However, the situation remains unclear and there are other possible outcomes. Including Real Madrid. Or an extension. It wouldn’t be the first turnaround in an extension dossier.
