Ibrahima Konaté to leave Liverpool on free transfer

Ibrahima Konaté will leave Liverpool on a free transfer after contract talks collapsed. The 27‑year‑old France international’s deal expires, and no extension was reached. Konaté’s agents held extensive negotiations with Liverpool over a new five‑year contract. The club and player could not agree terms, confirming his departure. The defender has been linked with a move to Paris Saint‑Germain. PSG interest follows his free‑agent status at the end of the season. Liverpool’s five‑year stay at Anfield began in 2017 when Konaté joined from RB Leipzig. His contract runs out this summer, triggering the free‑transfer scenario. With Konaté set to exit, Liverpool will need to replace a central‑defence option ahead of the next campaign. The club has not announced a replacement as of now.
