Reports from Liverpool in recent days have suggested that Ibrahima Konate is close to signing a new deal for the club, but David Ornstein says this is not the case. On NBC Sports, Ornstein explained that Konate will be out of contract this summer and that his latest information is that the situation is at an impasse.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are now closer to reaching a full agreement with Ibrahima Konaté over a new contract, with negotiations advancing well. Talks involving Real Madrid stopped in November, and Liverpool are now progressing. The deal is not yet completed, but Liverpool are confident.

According to L'Équipe, Ibrahima Konaté is close to signing a new long-term contract with Liverpool. Talks for a renewal began in 2024 and an initial extension proposed by the club was rejected for being too low, which brought Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid closer to Konaté. In recent hours, Konaté's representatives have reached a broad agreement with Liverpool on financial terms, with only the final details to be finalized. Liverpool is increasingly optimistic that the deal will be completed by the end of the month. Konaté currently earns approximately 150,000 pounds per week and is seeking a raise to be closer to the salaries of the highest-paid players, such as Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah. The player hopes to settle his future before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

According to TEAMtalk sources, representatives of Ibrahima Konate have reached a broad agreement on a new long-term contract at Anfield.

There is growing optimism within the club that the deal will be completed before the end of the month, which would secure Konate’s long-term future on Merseyside.

According to the French newspaper L'Équipe, Ibrahima Konaté is applying strong pressure on Liverpool's management for his situation to be resolved before the 2026 World Cup starts, as he is seeking a contract extension with the club.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool remain in active conversations with Ibrahima Konate and his representatives over a new contract. Romano states that discussions are ongoing with the French defender and that while nothing is currently done or agreed, the conversations are continuing. Romano adds that the player is open to continuing at Liverpool, but it is an important contract for his career. According to L’Equipe, Konate has never been closer to staying at LFC than he currently appears. The Athletic also reports that staying at Anfield could be the most likely outcome now.

Liverpool have a strong desire to keep Ibrahima Konate and are continuing to push to extend his expiring contract, with the club prepared to pay more than Chelsea and Man City. The Sun claimed Liverpool have almost given up on the prospect of making a breakthrough. Sources explained that Liverpool have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress and their initial hope the situation would be resolved by Easter has passed. Plettenberg wrote that the chances for Liverpool remain strong despite concrete interest from top clubs. Sky Germany suggests the eventual outcome will be favourable for Liverpool.

Ibrahima Konate is in the final three months of his contract with Liverpool, and negotiations have not resulted in an agreement in more than 18 months. Club sources told The Athletic that an agreement was not imminent, a sentiment that was echoed by the player's camp. Dressing room sources believe that Konate is more likely to stay than to leave. The terms offered are the biggest obstacle to a renewal, as Konate is seeking an improved salary from his current £150,000 per week towards Liverpool’s highest earners, like Florian Wirtz’s £250,000 weekly wages. Liverpool have consistently communicated that they are keen to keep Konate, but will only do so on their own terms and are wary of overspending on renewals following a sharp increase in their wage bill. Konate might also be waiting to evaluate his options in the summer and to see the outcome of Liverpool’s Champions League campaign. The Athletic reports that Liverpool insist no bid for Konate was received in January and that the player did not push for a transfer.

Ibrahima Konate's contract expires in the summer, and Liverpool hope he will stay, with multiple extension offers having been made.

Ornstein said he thinks there are constructive conversations and a desire from both parties to try and find an agreement.

The negotiations have centered on Konate's belief that his salary should be commensurate with his status as one of the best defenders in the Premier League. While some reports had stated that Konate demanded a salary of around £300,000 a week, sources have downplayed that figure, suggesting the demands are not as high. It is reported that an arrangement of around £200,000 a week could soon be agreed.
