Ibrahima Konate offered to Real Madrid and PSG as Liverpool defender's transfer preference revealed

Konate's contract at Anfield runs for 12 more months, after which he will be free to sign elsewhere for free. Foot Mercato report that he has been offered to multiple European giants on those terms.

Konate signed a five-year deal with the Reds when he signed from RB Leipzig in 2021 but the club have failed to negotiate an extension. That has put Real Madrid, PSG and Barcelona on alert.

Should Konate leave, it would be the second player Liverpool have lost on a free transfer in two summers. Trent Alexander-Arnold ran his contract down and signed for Real Madrid in June, a move that is becoming increasingly common at the top of the game.

Liverpool do not need to replace Konate immediately but reports suggest Arne Slot's outfit are already considering their succession plan. A move for Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi has been mooted this summer.
