Ibrahima Konaté will probably not extend his contract with Liverpool FC after all. A trio around FC Bayern is said to be interested. But in Munich some questions arise.
FC Bayern could land a spectacular transfer. Ibrahima Konaté, central defender of Liverpool FC, will probably not extend his expiring contract and could move on a free transfer in the summer. With an estimated market value of 50 million euros, the 27-year-old would be the most valuable free transfer professional on the market. According to French and British media reports, the people of Munich are said to be among the top interested parties.
In addition to FC Bayern, according to “L’Équipe”, Real Madrid continues to maintain contact with Konaté’s environment. In recent years he has repeatedly been linked with a transfer to the Spanish capital. The British Daily Mail denied reports that Chelsea FC was in contact with new coach Xabi Alonso on the player side. According to them, much more Paris Saint-Germain should closely monitor the situation of the Paris native.
Konaté’s extension failed shortly before completion
An extension at Anfield Road seemed almost certain just a few weeks ago. After the 2-1 win against city rivals Everton on April 19, Konaté expressed optimism: “We have been in discussions with the club for a long time and are close to an agreement. I think everyone has wanted this for a long time, but we are on the right track. There is definitely a big chance that I will be here next season. That is what I have always wanted.”
Konaté raved about the club. “I have a very special relationship not only with the fans, but with every single employee of the club. It’s such a great club, a great family. This club means a lot to me.” The Frenchman moved from RB Leipzig to England in the summer of 2021 for 40 million euros.
