Fabrizio Romano relays early morning update that’ll have Liverpool fans on red alert

What’s the update?

According to Empire of the Kop, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Ibrahima Konaté hasn’t yet agreed to extend his contract with Liverpool, which is set to expire in 2026.

The news comes amid reported interest from Real Madrid in signing Konaté once his deal ends.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich’s ongoing contract talks with Dayot Upamecano could influence how aggressively Madrid pursue Konaté.

Because Liverpool could be heading into a season with a weakened centre-back lineup, the club might be forced to act decisively in the transfer market — maybe even as soon as January.
