Liverpool are on their way and are the favourites to win the Premier League title this season. The club would still need to think about a lot of issues in the transfer window even after winning the Premier League. The contracts of important stars like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah end this summer, and they have not agreed to a new contract with the club. Also, there might be a lot of players who might be on the radar of a number of clubs in the summer.
The Reds suffered heartbreaking losses in the second leg of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League when they lost on penalties to PSG at Anfield. It was the end of the dream of the Reds to win their seventh UCL title, as they were going very strong in both domestic competitions and in Europe. The club finished first in the group stage of the Champions League and were looking like one of the most in-form teams of the tournament. However, it was not meant to be for Arne Slot’s side.
Liverpool have not yet reached an agreement for a new contract with Ibrahima Konate
Football Insider has meanwhile reported that the Merseyside club has still not reached an agreement with their 25-year-old defender Ibrahima Konate for a new contract. Pete O’Rourke revealed that the club have started looking for possible replacements for the defender in the summer transfer market.
If they manage to lose the Frenchman in the summer, then it would turn out to be a big loss for the club, given that it is most likely that Virgil van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold also might be leaving the club for free, and the whole backline will need to be changed then.

Konate‘s contract ends in the summer of 2026, and if he does not agree to a new contract, then the Reds would have no option other than offloading him in the transfer window or else he might leave for free at the end of the next season. The towering French centre-back possesses a mixture of physical prowess and technical finesse. His imposing stature brings dominance in aerial duels, making him a big presence in defense.
What are the qualities that he brings to the table?
Konate’s speed defies his size, allowing him to recover swiftly and thwart counterattacks. Konaté’s ball-playing ability stands out: calm under pressure, he distributes with precision, often initiating attacks from the back. His tactical awareness and anticipation disrupt opposition plays, while his strength shines in one-on-one battles. At just 25, Konate’s potential as a world-class defender continues to grow.

The 25-year-old has conceded 15 goals and kept 10 clean sheets in 23 matches in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. For a Liverpool fan, losing Ibrahima Konate in the transfer window would be a disaster. The defence would crumble without his aerial dominance and pace. Van Dijk’s partner, he’s irreplaceable—his ball-playing sparks attacks. The team will leak goals, lose stability, and kiss the top four goodbye. It would turn out to be a nightmare for the Reds, with a possible departure of van Dijk on the cards as well!
