In a month, several players will be free from any contract. And we can say that there will be deals to be had here and there since the clubs will not pay transfer fees. But there will certainly be signing bonuses, sometimes very substantial. Robert Lewandowski, Bernardo Silva, David Alaba, Dani Carvajal and Yann Sommer will be in this situation. This is also the case for Ibrahima Konaté. The Frenchman will be free from July 1.
Which places him in an ideal position to negotiate with the clubs of his choice or renegotiate a new lease with Liverpool. Because in recent months, the residents of Anfield have tried to shield the Frenchy who arrived in 2021 from Leipzig in Germany. At the time, the Reds had paid just over €40 million. Five years later, they hoped to convince him to continue the adventure with them.
Konaté will leave Liverpool
But in recent months, the 27-year-old French international seemed to be moving away despite an extension proposal on the table. Long announced as close to Real Madrid, he had remained at the dock, he who has also been associated with Bayern Munich in recent months. Since last night, the English sports press has announced that he will leave once his contract at Liverpool ends. Sky Sports was the first to draw the line by announcing his departure at the end of the season.
This morning, several media confirm, including the Daily Mail. After 183 matches and a Premier League title, an FA Cup and two Carabao Cups, Konaté will have a change of scenery this summer. Concerning its future destination, the DM indicates that his most likely destination is…Paris Saint-Germain. A club to which the Paris native has already been linked in the recent past.
