Liverpool insists on renewing the contract of its defender

Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed the latest developments regarding Liverpool's position, including defender Francisco Ibrahima Konate, whose current season ends. According to Romano, Liverpool have begun talks with Konate regarding a contract extension, but the two parties have not yet reached an agreement. This coincides with reports indicating a real interest from Madrid in signing the player during the summer transfer window, which Romano confirmed, confirming that the club had already tried to include Konate, but the Liverpool management was able to enter negotiations with him, closing the door to any deal. Since Red Konate joined the "Al" ranks in the summer of 2021 from RB Leipzig, he participated in 31 matches last season, scoring one goal and scoring none.
