Ibrahima Konate is the latest Liverpool player whose future is up in the air.
The Reds are usually such a well-run club. FSG have built a great structure behind the scenes, and they have very rarely found themselves in difficult situations.
However, Liverpool have allowed Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk all to enter the final few months of their contracts.
Now, Konate’s situation could cause them a few worries.
What FSG have told Ibrahima Konate about a new Liverpool contract
Konate is one of Liverpool’s most important players.
The Frenchman, when he is fit, is a regular starter alongside Van Dijk, and the two defenders have formed a very solid partnership at the back for the Reds.
Van Dijk’s future remains unclear, and now, Konate too is on his way to entering the final year of his contract at Anfield.
ESPN recently claimed that the 25-year-old defender is tempted by the prospect of moving back to his home country and playing for Paris Saint-Germain.
Now, Sacha Tavolieri has claimed on Sky-Sport that dialogue is now open between Konate’s representative and the decision-makers at PSG.
Furthermore, it has been revealed that Liverpool have ‘informed’ Konate that they will offer him a new contract at the end of this season, but it will not be a crazy one.
The report claims that Liverpool’s proposal will certainly be less valuable than what PSG would usually offer to their key targets.
Clik here to view.
Liverpool can’t repeat one mistake they’ve already made
Liverpool made a big error allowing three of their most important players – Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk – to enter the final year of their deals.
Yes, there’s still a chance that all three of them will sign new contracts and stay, but that should’ve been done a long time ago.
With Konate, Liverpool cannot repeat the same mistake.
If the Frenchman does not agree to sign a new contract this summer, he should be sold. Letting him run his deal down could prove to be a very costly mistake.
As for PSG, they will have no problem offering Konate a fortune this summer or when he becomes a free agent a year later.
