Liverpool table new deal while their ‘world-class’ star debates whether to stay or begin a fresh chapter in Europe.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an important update on Ibrahima Konaté’s situation, revealing that Liverpool have officially offered the French defender a new contract. With his current deal expiring next summer, Konaté now faces a major decision: commit his long-term future to Anfield or pursue a “new chapter” amid strong interest from European heavyweights like Real Madrid.

The next move is entirely up to Konaté, and Liverpool are waiting for his response after submitting their proposal.

Romano reports that talks remain “ongoing” between Liverpool and Konaté’s camp. The club have made it clear they want the “world-class” centre-back to stay by putting forward their offer, and now the player must weigh up the “several factors” involved before making a call.

On his YouTube channel, Romano explained:

Negotiations continue, but Konaté must now choose his path.

He has multiple options across Europe, including Real Madrid.

Liverpool have already made their offer, and the defender must decide whether to commit or seek a fresh challenge.

His decision may be influenced by both financial and personal considerations.

Liverpool have taken their step—now the future is in Konaté’s hands.

Liverpool could accelerate Marc Guehi pursuit if Konaté turns down new terms

Konaté’s contract uncertainty is set to shape Liverpool’s transfer plans. If he opts to leave—potentially on a free next summer—the club may be forced to fast-track their efforts to sign a replacement.

Since Konaté can negotiate a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January 1, Liverpool are reportedly preparing to move quickly for Marc Guehi during the winter window. Spanish journalist Bruno Alemany even claims a deal for Guehi is “all wrapped up,” suggesting the Reds may push to complete the signing in January rather than wait until a more competitive summer market.

With Konaté’s future up in the air, Liverpool are preparing for every scenario—but the final decision now rests entirely with the Frenchman.
