The information is not new, but it is confirmed over the past weeks. After five seasons spent under the colors of Liverpool, Ibrahima Konaté seems determined to see the country. And why not another than England. In the small papers of Real Madrid and other large European displacements, the defender arrives at the end of the contract with the Reds in a year. He would not want to extend.
After the Spanish press has echoed the Madrid interest in French international, it was the foot transfer Mercato to confirm this Thursday the trend of a probable departure from Liverpool in the summer of 2026. In addition to Real, the specialized media cites FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain as possible destinations.
If this information is confirmed in the coming months, it will be a new blow for the Mersey club. After seeing Trent Alexander-Arnold leave free this summer for Madrid, the departure of Ibrahima Konaté would be a new opportunity to bring money to compensate for an important departure, which would fly.
Ibrahima Konaté, a summer 2026 which promises to be intense
The current state of mind of the tricolor player is in any case that of a man who wants to offer a new challenge. After being vice-champion of Bundesliga in 2021 with the RB Leipzig, Ibrahima Konaté signed in Liverpool. With the Reds, he has just won his very first title of Premier League champion after finishing in second place in 2022. That year, he had still won the FA Cup and the League Cup, as well as the Community Shield.
In a year, Ibrahima Konaté will be twenty-seven years. Summer should be intense for him since he should logically compete in the 2026 World Cup with the French team. And so change clubs… unless Liverpool finds the right arguments by then to convince him to stay.
