Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has now rejected a third contractual offer from the club.
The 26 -year -old French international will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Liverpool has not been able to agree on a new agreement with him. Despite the submission of several offers, the player has not agreed to commit his long -term future to the club.
According to Marca, the player has now refused a third offer from the club to renew his agreement.
Ibrahima Konate leaves for free?
It seems that the player can now pass as a free agent in summer. He was strongly linked to a move to Real Madrid, and it will be interesting to see if he moves to La Liga in the coming months.
Losing the player on a free transfer would be a devastating blow for the Premier League champions. They recently lost Trent Alexander-Arnold against Real Madrid during a free transfer, and it seems that the French international could soon join his former teammate at the Spanish club.
Konate was a key player
Konate has been an important player for Liverpool since he joined the club, and his release will weaken them. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can replace it properly. They were strongly linked to Marc Guehi de Crystal Palace during the summer transfer window, but they failed to conclude the agreement. It will be interesting to see if they decide to come back for the English international in January.
Konate is at the top of his career, and he will seek to join a large club where he can win major trophies. Real Madrid can offer him this opportunity. They are widely considered as the largest club in the world, and the possibility of joining them can be tempting enough for most players.
