The Ibrahima Konaté soap opera is launched. One year before the end of his contract with Liverpool (June 2026), the tricolor central defender is at the heart of a battle between giants. If the Reds absolutely want to extend it, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are determined to try their luck, whether this summer with a paid transfer or by recovering it free next year.
In recent days, Real Madrid would have intensified its efforts to convince the former Leipzig player, multiplying exchanges with those around him to complete the case. But according to information from the Spanish media Don BalonPSG does not intend to remain a spectator. And proof of the importance given to the file, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi would have taken matters into hand, by dismissing Luis Campos.
The president of the Paris club would be directly involved in the discussions. Its objective: to have the negotiations between the Konaté clan and the Casa Blanca to the CASA. Al-Khelaïfi, who also takes care of the file of Lucas Chevalier, sees in Konaté a strategic element to also strengthen the tricolor identity of PSG.
Konaté, the dilemma
Still according to Don Balonthe Qatari boss of the club would have activated his networks to convince the player to snub the Madrid advances. A strategy that could bear fruit, even if Konaté has not yet spoken on his future. Liverpool, for its part, has not said its last word and intends to offer an extension offer revised upwards.
If no decision has yet been made, PSG multiplies efforts to show Konaté how desired it is in the capital. Between the loyalty to the Reds, the call of the Real and the Al-Khelaïfi plan, the summer of the number 5 of Liverpool could well be decisive for the rest of his career.
