After more than three seasons wearing the RB Salzburg jersey, Ivorian international Karim Konaté appears ready to take the next major step in his young career. The 22-year-old striker has a clear vision of what lies ahead.

According to a report from 225foot, Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe has shown interest in Konaté’s profile. However, the player is in no rush to make a decision and is said to prefer a move to a club competing in one of Europe’s top five leagues.

It’s worth noting that last summer, Konaté was on the radar of Paris FC, as exclusively revealed by Africafoot’s editorial team. Although RB Salzburg—where the forward remains under contract until June 2028—are open to his departure, they will only entertain the idea if a substantial offer comes in.

Valued at €12 million by Transfermarkt, Konaté has delivered seven goals and one assist in 17 appearances across all competitions this season.
