"Liverpool are prepared to part with Ibrahima Konate for just 15 million in January, should a replacement be sourced. The French centre-back is out of contract in the summer and is yet to sign a new deal with the Premier League champions. Konate has denied that Liverpool have made any fresh offers as recently as November, and it's becoming increasingly unclear whether they will shake hands on a new contract to keep him on Merseyside."
"In order to avoid a situation like Trent Alexander-Arnold's, where Liverpool lost a high value asset for free, they may be willing to cash in on Konate in the January transfer market. L'Interista, via Sports Witness, believe the Reds could be tempted into a sale at just 15 million, should they be able to source a replacement. This has alerted several clubs across Europe, including Inter Milan, who Liverpool recently beat in the Champions League."
"Liverpool will only sanction the deal should they be able to source a replacement, or not sign him to a new contract. If they were to sell Konate, they would most likely launch a bid for Marc Guehi, who they were close to signing on deadline day, and who is also out of contract in the summer. Konate has suffered a rather large fall from grace this season, but is still ranked 12th in FourFourTwo's list of the best centre-backs in the world right now."
Ibrahima Konate is out of contract in the summer and has not yet signed a new deal with Liverpool. Konate denied that Liverpool made fresh offers as recently as November, leaving his future uncertain. Liverpool are prepared to accept just 15 million in January if they can identify a replacement. The club want to avoid losing a valuable player for free, as happened with Trent Alexander-Arnold, and may cash in to prevent that outcome. Several European clubs, including Inter Milan, have shown interest in Konate. If sold, Liverpool would likely target Marc Guehi as a replacement. Konate remains ranked 12th in FourFourTwo's list of the world's best centre-backs despite recent mistakes.
