The Spanish club is reportedly willing to offer between \u20ac20 million and \u20ac25 million, while Liverpool are holding firm at a valuation of at least \u20ac50 million.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Madrid have no plans to meet that price\u2014especially with Konat\u00e9 already open to a move. They\u2019re willing to wait until 2026, when he could be available on a free transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/psgtalk.com\/2025\/06\/konate-prefers-real-madrid-transfer-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Foot Mercato reported<\/a> that Konat\u00e9 had been offered to several top clubs, including PSG, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, hinting that a move could happen once his contract expires.<\/p>\n<p>Will PSG, Real Madrid miss out on Liverpool standout<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ibrahima-konate-liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2025.jpg\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-92289 has-webp\" alt=\"Ibrahima Konate\"  data- style=\"aspect-ratio:1920\/1080;max-width:1920px\"\/>Carl Recine\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Football Insider reports that Liverpool still haven\u2019t given up hope of getting Konat\u00e9 to sign a contract extension, according to journalist Pete O\u2019Rourke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see a move happening this summer,\u201d <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/exclusive-liverpool-plan-to-accept-40m-ibrahima-konate-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">O\u2019Rourke told Football Insider<\/a>. \u201cIt would have to be a very good offer from Real Madrid to convince Liverpool to sell Konate, even though they don\u2019t want him to run down his contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re probably looking at over at least \u00a340million to sell him now. I\u2019d imagine Konate will end up staying at Liverpool this summer. The club will hold further talks with him to try and convince him to sign a new contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the player is in the box seat here, he can stay at Liverpool and talk to interested clubs in January with his contract running down as well. It\u2019s a real worry for Liverpool because they\u2019ve seen Trent Alexander-Arnold leave the club and they don\u2019t want to see Konate do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool center-back Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 still hasn\u2019t signed a contract extension, and the lack of progress has sparked transfer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-23605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
