Ibrahima Connate is hesitant to sign a new contract at Liverpool, urging concerns that the club could lose another key player after Trent Alexander Arnold’s move to Real Madrid. Konate’s current deal will enter the final year of next month. Guardianhe rejected Liverpool’s first expansion offer. This was a performance-based size. The French defender camp promotes higher base salaries.
Contract talks with Connath were delayed last season as Liverpool prioritized the expansion of Mohamed Sarah and Virgil van Dyke. If they fail to reach a new contract with Konate this summer, Liverpool could reflect the situation for Alexander Arnold, who received only £10 million to get a right back a month earlier, despite the much higher market value of the right back.
Meanwhile, Andy Robertson is also in the final year of his contract, and Liverpool will open to selling him to Atletico Madrid if he wants to leave. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has already set out for Brentford on a £18 million deal.
There is a strong start, including a £145.5 million arrival, including the arrival of Florian Wiltz and Jeremy Fripon, but the centre-back position remains unresolved. Liverpool plans to revisit consultations with Conate later this summer, but is solidifying that it will not exceed its wage structure.
The Premier League champion is currently linked to Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guech, and can quickly raise interest if the situation with Conate remains unresolved.
