Overview
- Fresh reporting Friday said Liverpool have a long-term offer on the table for Ibrahima Konaté and view their chances of keeping him as strong.
- Fabrizio Romano said talks will continue this month and that Real Madrid are not currently pursuing the defender.
- Reports say Chelsea and Manchester City have held exploratory talks with Konaté’s camp, though it is unclear if either club has made a formal offer.
- Konaté is said to earn about £150,000 per week and has sought a bigger deal after reportedly turning down offers near £200,000 per week.
- His contract runs out at season’s end, and under Bosman rules he has been free to talk to foreign clubs since January.
