Welcome to LFC Ibrahima Konate

[Norbs]

Surely PSG will want him and be willing to pay £40m? If so then it's his choice

[Charly]

We dont have a viable alternative in the squad, so we cant drop him.

[Sus]

If it’s true and he says I wont be sold now and I’ll wait till next season and leave on free would you risk the money on wages and tell him fine but you won’t play another game for Liverpool.

I wonder how the club will handle it now. With Klopp you feel he would have kept him and played him and isn’t this one of the areas Klopp and Edwards disagreed on?

I would be difficult as you’d need to get in a replacement now as well.

Someone earlier made the good point that this is a World Cup year, so if he doesn’t sign or accept being sold, he won’t make the France squad

So I think we hold some leverage here

Bring in this Hato kid or some other well touted defender and let him fester on the bench. We can't be done again or everyone will be at it!!

because we probably need to sell to buy. We probably cant afford 5 centrebacks.

Approaching his prime, and not easy to replace. Would be great to get this contract signed.

Yeah. This would be great to get done. Looks like the squad changes will be turbulent enough without replacing a CB who's been playing well.

Must sign or must sell unfortunately

"According to the Liverpool Echo..." A phrase that indicates the reliability of the info.

When Konate's existing contract expires, Marquinhos will be 33. Are they doing a TAA on us?

[Corndog]

If he’s expecting the same sort of wage as VVD or Salah though, he can forget it.

He could be sold if that’s the case or allowed to leave on a free.

Pay rise sure, but he’s not earned being up there with those two as was alleged in some papers

[BG1973]

Does his contract expire next year?

No point selling.

[Irishnev]

Does his contract expire next year?

No point selling.

End of next season - if he doesn’t renew he can leave for free so what’s better:

Ibou for a year and leave for free
Sell Ibou for 40m and try to buy a replacement?

He’s a 70m asset but 1 year left leaves this in a tough situation with PSG and Real Madrid sniffing
