"Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has been linked with a move away from the club, and Real Madrid are interested in him. The 26-year-old is in the final year of his contract with the Premier League champions, and he has not signed a contract with them. If Liverpool fail to agree on a new deal with the player, they could be under pressure to sell the player in January. They will not want to lose a top-class player like him on a free transfer next summer."
"The player was asked about a potential interest from Real Madrid during the international break, and he joked that his French international teammate Kylian Mbappe has been calling him constantly regarding a move. Yes, Kylian Mbappe is calling me every two hours, Konate said via Football Espana. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince the player to sign a new deal with them. He's one of their best players, and losing him would be a blow for the club."
Ibrahima Konaté, 26, is entering the final year of his Liverpool contract and has attracted interest from Real Madrid. Contract talks between Konaté and Liverpool have continued for months without agreement, creating the possibility the club could face pressure to sell in January rather than risk a free transfer next summer. Konaté joked that teammate Kylian Mbappé calls him every two hours about a potential move. Liverpool completed an overhaul this summer and seek to stabilise the squad while retaining key players. With Virgil van Dijk aging, Konaté is viewed as a potential future defensive leader for Liverpool.
