Ibrahima Konaté and Liverpool are reportedly still not close to reaching an agreement for a new contract extension.
Liverpool once again find themselves in competition with Real Madrid for the signature of one of their superstars. The Reds lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to the Spanish giants last summer, and now could be facing a similar fate with Konaté.
Talks of a new deal for the France international, who is in the final 12 months of his contract, have yet to make true progress. Recent reports claim Konaté rejected a third approach over improved personal terms earlier this month, further fuelling the possibility of a future move to the Spanish capital.
The Reds remain eager to lock down Konaté, but revealed there is still “nothing really close” to a new agreement between Liverpool and the centre back. In fact, an extension “looks difficult” at the moment.
