Liverpool inches closer to securing a new deal for Ibrahima Konate, who is set to receive a significant salary boost. This move comes amid concerns over the club's thin center-back options, particularly after the injuries to Giovanni Leoni and the reliance on Konate and Virgil van Dijk. While Liverpool opted not to panic buy in January, they face uncertainty with Konate's contract expiring in June. Although Real Madrid previously showed interest, that has cooled for now. Italian journalist Nicolo Schira reports that after two rejected bids, Liverpool is making progress on a contract extension for Konate, which includes a hefty pay increase. However, some fans express dissatisfaction with his recent performances, notably during the FA Cup match against Manchester City, prompting critiques of his defensive resolve. The situation remains fluid as Liverpool navigates potential challenges in the summer transfer window.
