The central defender of Liverpool, Ibrahima Konate, keeps an enormous increase in salary as a conversations about a new contract with Angeld Drag without an agreement.
Konate has taken the main partner of Virgil van Dijk this season and started almost every game when it is fit. But while Van Dijk is finally accessible to a new deal, the future of the French has become uncertain as a Liverpool player.
In February, Konate played little speculation for transfer speculation when she presented links to Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, described the rumored interest as “flattering” and said his agent would do everything from the pitch.
The former RB Leipzig star will shortly enter the last year of the contract he signed to complete a transfer from 2021 from Germany. Currently, Konate is supposed to take a weekly content of £ 80,000, but but The times writes that he is now looking for more than twice this wage – “closer to 200,000 pounds”.
Liverpool could therefore make some difficult decisions. The red will want to avoid a repeat scenario in which a regular starter is in a draining contract, whereby Konate’s situation is more like Trent Alexander-Arnold due to his age and market value than van Dijk or Mohamed Salah.
Behind van Dijk and Konate, the shortage of opportunities this season leads native Jarell Quansah to take his position into account. The 22-year-old was associated with Newcastle United, whose budget could enable a deal worth 30 million GBP plus add-ons. However, Liverpool still sees Quansah as part of her plans in the next season, despite his lack of chances.
If Konate were sold, it could open the regular playing time for Quansah, or it would be more likely that the Reds will immerse yourself in the transfer market for a replacement. Castello Lukeba, who had a similar career path to conat by moving from France to RB Leipzig, is one of the connected.
