Konate to Leave Liverpool After Contract Not Renewed
The 27-year-old centre-back leaves after Liverpool and Konate failed to agree a new contract, ending his five-year spell at Anfield.
- Liverpool has confirmed that centre-back Ibrahima Konate will leave Anfield on Sunday after failing to agree on a new contract with the club.
- Despite Konate's confidence last month about securing new terms, the club and player failed to achieve a breakthrough in negotiations, ending his five-year spell.
- During his time at Liverpool, Konate was a major part of the side that stormed to the Premier League title in the 2024/25 season, also winning two League Cups and the FA Cup.
- His departure follows the recent exits of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, coming after manager Arne Slot was sacked on May 30 following a disappointing campaign.
- Paris-Born Konate has been linked with European champions Paris Saint-Germain, potentially forcing Liverpool to seek defensive cover despite the £60 million arrival of Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes.
