The future of Ibrahima Konaté at Liverpool is looking increasingly uncertain, and concern is mounting within the English club’s ranks. With just months left before his contract expires in June 2026, there’s still no concrete sign of an extension on the horizon.

Since arriving from RB Leipzig in 2021, the French-Malian centre-back has alternated between solid performances and recurring injuries. Despite these setbacks, he remains a key figure in the Reds’ defensive line.

The lack of concrete talks about a possible extension is fueling growing speculation. Allowing him to leave on a free at the end of his deal would be a significant blow for Liverpool, who are desperate to avoid that scenario.

Real Madrid on the lookout!

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on the situation. The Spanish giants, always on the hunt for smart market opportunities, are reportedly impressed with Konaté’s profile: young, powerful, and already seasoned at the very highest level.

If nothing changes in the coming months, the 25-year-old defensive powerhouse will be free to negotiate with other clubs as early as January 2026.

The countdown is on for Liverpool, who must quickly clarify their intentions.
