At Liverpool since 2021, Ibrahima Konaté has long maintained suspense regarding his future with the Reds. Free from any contract next June, the French international had not extended and his name was regularly mentioned on the Madrid side. Since then, the merengue track has taken off and the former resident of RB Leipzig confirmed that he was finally on the verge of extending his lease with the Mersey club.
“We have heard a lot of things, but we have been in talks with the club for a long time and we are close to reaching an agreement. There’s a good chance I’ll still be here next season. This is what I always wanted. I’m waiting to finalize the contract, but when everything is settled, you will have to ask Richard (Hughes, the sporting director, editor’s note) what I said to him in September and November, and he will say something that will shut everyone up. I have a special relationship not only with the supporters, but also with every person who works at the club. I carry them in my heart like my family. It’s an incredible club, an incredible family. This club means a lot to me”confided the Frenchman after the match won against Everton, in comments reported by The Athletic.
