Liverpool FC are nearing an agreement with Ibrahima Konaté over a new long-term contract, with only final details left to be resolved.

Discussions between the club and the defender are progressing well, and a long-term extension is now taking shape as both parties move closer to a full agreement.

Konaté has been a key figure for Liverpool since his move from RB Leipzig. The French centre-back has made 174 appearances for the Reds, establishing himself as an important part of the squad.

The 25-year-old officially joined Liverpool on July 1, 2021, after the club activated his £36 million release clause with RB Leipzig in late May of that year.

He made his competitive debut for Liverpool on September 18, 2021, in a match against Crystal Palace, marking the beginning of his career at Anfield.

A new deal would further secure Konaté’s future at the club as Liverpool continue to build for the long term.
