‘Ibrahima Konate to never play for Liverpool again’ – fans explode after update

Liverpool fans reacted all but unanimously to an update regarding Ibrahima Konate’s future at the club amid growing speculation over interest from Real Madrid.

Konate played a vital role in Liverpool’s back line last season, forming a commanding partnership with Virgil van Dijk that helped the team register a league-best 14 clean sheets in the Premier League.

Despite his importance, questions over his long-term future have intensified, with just one year remaining on his current contract.

Football Insider revealed that Real Madrid have joined the list of suitors for Konate, with interest also coming from PSG and several clubs in Saudi Arabia.

While Liverpool have opened contract talks with Konate, no breakthrough has been made, fuelling fears that the Reds could lose him for free next summer.

Following the latest update about Madrid’s pursuit, many Liverpool supporters expressed frustration and anger over the situation.

Real Madrid step up interest in Ibrahima Konate amid Liverpool contract doubts

Amid ongoing uncertainty over Konate’s future, Spanish outlet Marca has revealed that Real Madrid have “begun working on their next free agent” and named Konate as their “favourite option”.

The report also mentions interest in Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly, although the Gunners remain confident the England youth international will sign a new deal.

Liverpool, however, are facing growing concern over Konate’s situation, with no agreement yet in place to extend his contract beyond its final year.

Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown toldFootball Insider that Liverpool have doubts over Konate and whether he is the right long-term option at the heart of their defence.

Despite being a regular in Arne Slot’s side, the Reds may soon be forced into a decision over the 26-year-old’s future.

Liverpool fans call for Ibrahima Konate sale amid Real Madrid free transfer fears

Following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s controversial free transfer to Real Madrid, many supporters are experiencing a sense of deja vu with Konate.

Madrid are reportedly prepared to wait until Konate’s deal expires and convince him to join on a free, using a similar strategy to their previous high-profile signings.

But Liverpool fans have reacted angrily to the latest developments—especially in light of how Alexander-Arnold left the club. Many have taken to social media to call for Konate to be sold if he refuses to commit to a new deal.

One supporter posted: “Konate doesn’t play a game of football if he doesn’t sign a new deal or agrees to be sold” while another said, “Sell him if he doesn’t want to extend.”
