Konaté Contract Talks Hit New 'Sticking Point' Over Term, Ex-Everton CEO Says

Reports point to salary progress with clauses and contract length still unresolved.

Overview

Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness said the length of Ibrahima Konaté’s next deal is now the key hurdle and that neither side looks fully convinced.
Wyness added that Konaté’s agent is holding out for other options and has cited Real Madrid interest, a claim not confirmed by the clubs.
Football365, citing Fabrizio Romano, reported that salary figures are broadly agreed while specific contract clauses still need clarity.
Konaté’s current Liverpool contract runs out at the end of the season, which lets him talk to foreign clubs and leave for free.
Football Insider said Liverpool plan to keep 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha at the club this summer as they shape next season’s squad during ongoing talks with Konaté.
