The Frenchman’s current deal at Anfield expires at the end of the 2025-26 season, and the former RB Leipzig defender is yet to agree fresh terms with the club.
Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold were the most high-profile names that the Reds let run down their contracts into their final months this term.
Salah and van Dijk both penned new deals on Merseyside, but the [Premier League](/topic/premier-league) champions lost first-choice right-back and academy graduate Alexander-Arnold on an initial free transfer before Real Madrid paid an extra £10million to secure the England international’s services for the Club World Cup.
Now, Arne Slot’s side are in a similar predicament with Konate, who will be free to speak to potential suitors from January next year if a new contract is not signed.
[The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jun/23/ibrahima-konate-disappointed-liverpool-contract-offer-talks-stall) reports that Konate has been offered an extension on his current deal, but the 26-year-old has rebuffed the offer, apparently ‘disappointed’ with the figures on the table.
The report claims that Konate’s representatives are seeking a higher wage package, with the offer from Liverpool rumoured to include a wage hike, but based on performance-based objectives. As a result, that has left Konate to consider his options.
Liverpool also have Andy Robertson entering the final year of his contract, and the left-back has interest from Atletico Madrid, who are in the hunt for a cut-price left-back.
