Overview
- Liverpool have presented what is described as a final contract offer to Ibrahima Konaté, according to multiple journalists cited by CaughtOffside.
- Konaté has less than three months left on his current deal, and Yahoo Sports reports he wants his future settled before the World Cup in June.
- Daily Mail reporter Lewis Steele said he is leaning toward Konaté staying at Anfield, though he stressed that nothing has been agreed.
- Fabrizio Romano has reported that Konaté is open to remaining at Liverpool and that Real Madrid’s interest has cooled.
- The defender has faced a dip in form and personal grief after his father’s death in January, yet Liverpool still view him as central to a thin center-back group as they plan further defensive signings.
