"The issue they have with Konate is that he always seems to have a mistake in him. That's why they wanted Marc Guehi, he's a very good option and he brings stability. It takes the concern away from the back line they've got at the moment, and that's why they've been looking to improve at centre-back. Having missed out on Guehi, they don't have the depth to get rid of Konate now."
"It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The French international is in the final year of his contract, and he will be a free agent next summer. Liverpool might prefer to sell him in January instead of losing him for free at the end of the season. He has been linked with clubs like Real Madrid, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up."
Ibrahima Konate faces a potential January exit from Liverpool amid concerns over defensive errors and a contract that expires next summer. Marc Guehi was identified as a preferred immediate replacement after a summer move collapsed when Crystal Palace failed to secure a replacement. Liverpool and Palace had agreed a fee and Guehi completed medicals before the deal was cancelled. Liverpool may pursue either a contract renewal for Konate or a January sale to recoup value rather than lose him on a free transfer. Konate has been linked with clubs including Real Madrid.
