Liverpool remains optimistic about securing Ibrahima Konaté’s long-term future at Anfield. The club is reportedly confident that the French defender will agree to a contract extension as his current deal, signed in 2021, enters its final months.
According to reports from L’Équipe, Liverpool’s management is determined to finalize a new agreement with Konaté, following a similar approach to the successful renewals of key players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah last season.
Despite a somewhat inconsistent start to the campaign and interest from European giants Real Madrid, the Reds believe the 26-year-old remains central to their defensive plans under manager Arne Slot.
Sources close to the club suggest that a formal contract proposal has already been presented to Konaté’s representatives in recent days. Liverpool’s confidence stems from their belief that the player’s growing role within the squad and the club’s competitive project provide compelling reasons for him to stay.
Konaté, who joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2021, has established himself as a reliable presence at the heart of the defence, combining strength, composure, and tactical awareness. While injuries have occasionally interrupted his rhythm, he remains highly regarded by both the coaching staff and fans.
Liverpool sees the French international as a long-term pillar of their backline, and talks are progressing positively. The club expects negotiations to conclude soon, ensuring that Konaté continues to play a vital part in their future success — and reinforcing their tradition of building stability around world-class talent.
