Konate’s Unexpected Twist: Is a Shocking Liverpool Exit Really Off the Table?
However, though the report still carefully avoids using the phrase “breakthrough in negotiations”, it also states that their sources from each side believe Konate is more likely to sign a new contract and continue playing for Liverpool, than to leave this summer.
If Konate indeed stays put, it will certainly be a big boost for Liverpool’s centre-back situation for the next few years. Captain Virgil van Dijk will turn 35 in July, and Joe Gomez, 29 next month, is severely injury-prone. Giovanni Leoni, who should be back in action at the start of 2026/27 after an ACL tear, is only 19, and Liverpool’s latest acquisition, Jeremy Jaquet, will turn 21 when he joins their ranks in the summer. While the latter two surely represent the future of the club, only Konate, 26, is in his prime now.
