Despite pursuing Marc Guehi and Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool insists Ibrahima Konate is not for sale. The club aims to extend Konate’s contract, viewing him as crucial to their future plans, amidst interest from Real Madrid and other European clubs.
Liverpool Football Club has firmly stated that Ibrahima Konate will not be leaving Anfield this summer, despite the club's active pursuit of defensive reinforcements. According to reports from The Daily Mail, the Premier League giants are engaged in discussions with Crystal Palace for the potential acquisition of England international center-back, Marc Guehi, in a deal estimated at £35 million.
In addition to Guehi, Liverpool are also reportedly keen on securing the services of Giovanni Leoni from Parma, further indicating their intent to bolster their defensive options. However, these potential additions will not pave the way for Konate's departure. The club values Konate highly and views him as an integral part of their plans for the upcoming season.
The Daily Mail highlighted Liverpool's stance, noting that the club has no intention of parting ways with Konate during this transfer window. Instead, they are actively working towards securing a new contract for the French international, underscoring their commitment to his long-term future at the club.
Real Madrid have been monitoring Konate's situation, contemplating a move for him as a free agent next year should he fail to agree on new terms with Liverpool. Other European clubs are also keenly observing the developments surrounding the 26-year-old defender.
