Ibrahima Konate will almost certainly leave Liverpool at the end of his contract, with negotiations between the club and the French central defender having broken down. His deal runs until June 30, 2026, making him free to sign with any club for the 2026/27 season.

What had appeared to be a straightforward renewal turned into a stalemate. Konate arrived at Liverpool in 2021 and has since established himself as one of the best centre-backs in European football, yet both parties failed to agree on terms for an extension. The French international is now free to negotiate with clubs abroad or domestically.
LaLiga Leads Konate’s Shortlist
Konate favours a move to LaLiga as his preferred next destination. He has not closed the door on remaining in the Premier League, where he is still held in high regard, nor on a return to France with PSG, the club from his hometown.
Five years in England, consistent performances at the highest level, and a profile that attracts genuine interest from top clubs across multiple leagues. Konate enters the market at 28 with significant leverage. The options available to him reflect his standing in the game, and the coming weeks will clarify which direction he chooses.
