Ibrahima Konaté, 25-year-old central defender of the French team and Liverpool (under contract until 2026), is in discussions for a contract extension. But he was also mentioned in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain. Anfield Watch announced today that PSG is on the lookout.
“PSG hopes to convince Konaté to return to Paris, his hometown. The defender played for Paris FC, the “other” Parisian team, before being transferred to RB Leipzig.
Currently, no transfers are planned in January. PSG instead plan to push for the defender's signature during the summer, when Liverpool will have no choice but to listen to offers. »
Nothing impossible, PSG part ways with Milan Skriniar (29 years old) and it would make sense to find a competitor in central defense, possibly by taking over from Marquinhos (30 years old). Konaté is a profile that can please, with the added bonus of its link with Paris.
But be careful, there is nothing certain with a simple rumor. We know that the transfer window is full of avenues mentioned without confirmation, and also a communication game. Here, the player's entourage could be involved in order to put pressure on the negotiation. So let's wait for certainty.
-Without forgetting that Konaté may have other ideas than PSG. As the latter could have other priorities.
