U-Turn: Konaté to Leave Liverpool as Free Agent

Ibrahima Konaté is set to depart Liverpool as a free agent after contract extension talks between the two parties reportedly broke down.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the English giants failed to reach an agreement with the player to prolong his current deal. The Frenchman's contract with the Merseyside club is due to expire at the end of June.

David Ornstein claims Konaté was demanding a weekly salary of £350,000 to re-sign. Just a month ago, the French international had indicated he would extend his contract, but has ultimately made a different decision.

The defender joined Liverpool in 2021 from RB Leipzig. Last season in the Premier League, he made 36 appearances and scored 1 goal.
