Next summer, one of Luis Campos' main projects will be to recruit a high-level central defender to PSG. With this in mind, the name of Ibrahima Konaté is unanimous in the French capital.
Six months ago, Paris Saint-Germain made no mistake by investing 40 million euros in Willian Pacho, recruited from Eintracht Frankfurt. Little known in France, the Ecuadorian international has established himself as an indisputable starter alongside Marquinhos in the capital. Ideally, PSG would like to recruit a second central defender of this caliber next summer, but this time a right-hander capable of taking Marquinhos' place in the long term. Eager to focus on French players as a priority for almost two years, Paris SG wishes to continue in this direction and according to journalist Abdel Hamed, the name of Ibrahima Konaté is unanimous internally.
The central defender of the French team, who has had an exceptional season so far with Liverpool, is appreciated by Luis Enrique as well as Luis Campos. This file has already received the approval of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, very favorable to the arrival of French players at PSG for several months and who had notably pushed to recruit Ousmane Dembélé or even Randal Kolo Muani a year and a half ago . Between the dream and reality, there is still a big gap to fill for PSG because it will be necessary to do hard to dislodge the native of Paris from the Reds.
PSG very hot on Ibrahima Konaté?
An indisputable starter at Liverpool, Ibrahima Konaté is one of the favorites of new coach Arne Slot, who wants to keep him… and extend him. Because Konaté's contract expires in June 2026, a fairly close deadline which has rightly caught the attention of the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain. It now remains to be seen whether “Hibou” and the current leader of the Premier League will quickly reach an agreement for an extension. If this is not the case, there is no doubt that PSG will be on the lookout, ready to draw a very big offer to secure the services of the French international with 21 selections with the Blues.
