"Liverpool central defender Ibrahima Konate has reportedly informed the club that he won't be signing a new contract at Anfield. The France international has been a hugely important player for the Reds, but it now seems he's made up his mind to move on for a new challenge. Konate is said to have informed Liverpool of his decision, and they've accepted it, according to Fichajes. The report states that this now points towards Konate moving to Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer."
"As we recently covered, Konate's future has been uncertain for a while, with interest from Real Madrid and possibly even Chelsea. The 26-year-old is fast approaching becoming a free agent, so LFC are really running out of time to tie him down to a new contract. As things stand, it seems inevitable that Konate will be leaving Liverpool on a free transfer, and a top club like Real Madrid would likely love the chance to sign a player as good as that."
Ibrahima Konate has told Liverpool he will not sign a new contract and the club have accepted his decision. Real Madrid hold a genuine interest in Konate and he is widely linked with a move to Los Blancos on a free transfer next summer. The 26-year-old is nearing free agent status, leaving Liverpool limited time to secure a new deal. Konate's likely exit follows Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure and represents another defensive loss. Liverpool made several major signings in the summer, but will need to identify and recruit a replacement for Konate.
