Liverpool defender Ibrahima Conate has been linked to his move to Real Madrid for the past few weeks.
The 26-year-old central defender has finished his contract next summer and he has not signed an extension with the Premier League. Liverpool is under pressure to sell him this summer, and they have set a asking price of 50 million euros.
Can Real Madrid sign Konate?
It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid is willing to come forward and pay him. The Reds don’t want to lose players in free transfers next year.
Meanwhile, a report from Defensa Central claims Liverpool manager Arne Slot has urged the club’s hierarchy to prevent the French from leaving the club this summer. It remains to be seen whether players can be persuaded to sign a new deal.
Conate is also linked to Barcelona.
Liverpool must maintain Ibrahimaconate
There’s no doubt that Konate is one of the best defenders in the Premier League. Keeping him at the club will be a huge boost for Liverpool. They have already approved the departure of Trent Alexander Arnold and Lewis Diaz. Diogo Jota also died in an accident.
They lost an incredible amount of quality and experience this summer. And they brought multiple young talents, which may not be enough for them to hold the title. They need more experience on the side and Conate is one of the names of the team sheets.
The French defender is an important player for them, and Liverpool can’t afford to lose him this summer. They won’t want to lose him on a free transfer next year either. If an extension of the contract is agreed, it would be ideal for all parties.
