PIF Pursuing Konate Transfer
Ibrahima Konate, 26, is reportedly seeking a contract worth £200k or more, prompting negotiations that have stalled. Manager Hughes has either been unable or unwilling to meet these financial demands, leading to speculation that Konate may leave Liverpool in the summer of 2026 when his current contract expires.

Both Real Madrid and Inter are showing interest in acquiring the French international, according to Sports Boom. Additionally, there are indications that clubs from Saudi Arabia are also vying for the defender’s signature.
“If Real Madrid and Inter Milan choose not to pursue their interests further, Saudi football officials will aim to attract Ibrahima Konate to the Kingdom this summer,” the report states.
“The financial backers aiming to elevate the Saudi Pro League are considering putting forward an offer.”
