Liverpool now finds itself facing another transfer dilemma. Notably, Ibrahima Konate is under the spotlight, and PSG have emerged as a tempting suitor.
Furthermore, while the Reds focus on their out-of-contract stars—Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk—they must also decide on Konate’s future.
Moreover, the 25-year-old centre-back is in the final 18 months of his Anfield deal. Therefore, Liverpool risks losing him on a cut-price fee this summer or even for free in 2026. Consequently, the club must act fast if it wishes to retain its defensive pillar.
In addition, PSG are eager to secure the ideal partner and eventual successor for captain Marquinhos. Notably, French reporter Julien Laurens has revealed that Konate is tempted by a move back to his hometown. He previously developed in the Paris FC academy, which further fuels his interest in joining PSG.
Furthermore, there is no clear indication of PSG’s potential bid or Liverpool’s asking price. Meanwhile, the Reds are actively searching for a new centre-back. As a result, the transfer market remains unpredictable, and every decision counts.

Additionally, murmurs of interest from PSG should serve as a wake-up call for Liverpool. Last month, Konate confirmed he had been offered a new deal, but he gave no hint about his decision. He stated, “I spoke with the club. I think I am really focused on what happens now. We will see what will happen.”
Likewise, the future of Konate appears less clear-cut compared to his defensive partner, Virgil van Dijk. In 2023, Konate admitted that joining PSG was a possibility, saying that the move would please both the club’s supporters and French fans. However, Fabrizio Romano recently reported that Liverpool’s talks with Konate over a new deal were at an advanced stage.
Moreover, another regular starter, Alisson Becker, may also face an uncertain future. Sources have suggested that his sale cannot be completely ruled out due to the impending arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia. In addition, Alisson reportedly has a preferred destination if a move becomes necessary.
Finally, further decisions loom as Mohamed Salah’s future is also under the microscope. In addition, reports hint that Newcastle striker Alexander Isak might be interested in a move to Liverpool. Clearly, the summer transfer window promises to be eventful, and the coming weeks will determine the fate of these key players.
