Ibrahima Konaté, the 26-year-old French defender, has reportedly been rejecting contract extension offers from Liverpool, with his deal said to be expiring at the end of the campaign. The defender is understood to favour a transfer to Real Madrid, and TEAMtalk is aware that he is the Spanish club's top centre-back target. In addition to interest from Bayern Munich, a report from TBRFootball indicates Liverpool believe they face a threat from several Premier League rivals. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are all said to be potential dangers, as the defender's intermediaries have made it clear to them that Konaté will be available. However, Fabrizio Romano has stated that Konaté's contract actually runs until 2026, while also confirming that Real Madrid are attentive to the situation. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €60 million.
