The French centre-back, who has just one year left on his current deal, has been the subject of growing transfer speculation, with Real Madrid previously eyeing him as a potential signing. However, new reports from Defensa Central indicate that Liverpool are increasingly confident of extending his stay — forcing Madrid to turn their attention elsewhere. 👀
With the Spanish giants now exploring alternatives like Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi and Nottingham Forest’s Murillo, Liverpool may have just dodged a defensive headache.
Since joining from RB Leipzig, Konate has formed a formidable partnership with Virgil van Dijk, becoming one of the most reliable defenders in Jurgen Klopp’s (now Arne Slot’s) setup. Losing him would’ve been a massive setback, especially after seeing Trent Alexander-Arnold depart for Madrid earlier this year. 😔
For Liverpool, keeping Konate isn’t just about stability — it’s about maintaining the defensive identity that’s brought them success over recent years.
As talks progress behind closed doors, fans can only hope this new optimism turns into a signed deal soon. ✍️🔴
