Ibrahima Konate was attacked this season for some mixed versions in Liverpool.
The French International in particular attracted a lot of criticism for his display in a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace in Selhurst Park.
Some fans have suggested that continuous links to La Liga Giants Real Madrid at least partially inspire such inconsistency.
Unfortunately, with colleague -target William Saliba who has just signed a new contract, the rumors of Konate Transfer will only intensify from now on.
Fabrizio Romano confirms the new William Saliba deal at Arsenal
Fabrizio Romano reported on Tuesday morning on X (formerly Twitter) that the Arsenal Center-back pen had put on paper about a contract extension.
🚨 Official: William Saliba signs New Deal in Arsenal until June 2030.
“I am proud of myself because I signed for the first time in 2019 and now I am still here to extend my contract”.
“I feel at home. It’s the best place to be. I enjoy every day when I get the chance to wear this shirt”. pic.twitter.com/rmn5lgu3ae

The new deal with the Gunners will see that the Frenchman extends his stay in the Emirates until the summer of 2030. Not to mention Ward Off reported Real Madrid’s interest (BBC Sport).
Very good news for the hopeful League of Mikel Arteta. But for Liverpool? This update is not reassuring for the Reds in the midst of current contract negotiations with Ibrahima Konate.
When did the previous Saliba contract have fallen off?
William Saliba’s earlier contract would end in the summer of 2027.
With another year about that deal, come the following summer transfer window, Real Madrid would have been in an affordable position.
Los Blancos could have either look to secure the center-back for a sniping price or position itself to conquer the football player for free within a year.
Real Madrid will concentrate on Ibrahima Konate in the midst of contract struggle
That is again a top quality centerback from the transfer market-hen Real Madrid is willing to dig deep into their wallets to make a deal happen.
The much likely bet is that Los Blancos will continue a policy that has served them fairly well in recent years – benefit from the free transfer market.
Liverpool himself suffered a lot under the hands of the poaching tactics of Madrid. Right-back-back-back Trent Alexander-Arnold was secured for a appearance (€ 10 million Early EXIT allowance) for his contract that will expire in June this year.
Now, with David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger apparently to be released when their contracts end in 2026.
The Xabi Alonso outfit wants two men to enter the doors in the summer to replace them, we can safely assume Bayern’s Dayot Upamecano is high on the list.
