Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is reportedly leaning towards a move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, despite the Reds’ efforts to secure him on a new long-term contract. With his current deal running until 2026, Liverpool are eager to retain the French center-back, especially as they risk losing Virgil van Dijk in the same transfer window. However, reports from Sports Zone suggest that PSG have a strong chance of luring Konate to Ligue 1, a move the player is said to prefer.
The French giants, who knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League this week, are not the only club interested in Konate, as Real Madrid have also been linked with a potential move. The Spanish giants may attempt to sign the 25-year-old alongside his Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold. While Liverpool remain hopeful of keeping Konate, they are fully aware of his inclination to return to France, making his departure a real possibility in the upcoming transfer window.
