Liverpool make an offer to renew Konaté’s contract and the defender refuses to stay with the team

Ibrahima Konaté has reportedly refused Liverpool’s latest contract extension offer and seems determined to leave the club at the end of the season, with Real Madrid emerging as his preferred destination.

Reds want to keep him

Liverpool are trying to avoid losing Konaté on a free transfer and have actively presented offers to extend his contract. Despite the club’s efforts, the French defender has declined the latest proposal, signaling his intention to explore new opportunities.

Konaté aiming for Real Madrid

According to Marca, Konaté’s next career step appears set for Real Madrid, though no official agreement has yet been reached. The Spanish club is optimistic about finalizing the transfer, having previously explored the possibility of signing him earlier but ultimately shelved that plan.

Contract situation

Konaté’s current deal with Liverpool runs until the end of the season. The club remains committed to securing his future but faces a challenging scenario as the defender weighs his options. If he departs, Liverpool could lose one of their key defensive figures without receiving a transfer fee.
