Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool contract offer to key star

Konate linked with Anfield exit

We’ve seen reports that Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in adding the Frenchman on a free transfer at the end of the season.

And the stopper will be free to discuss terms with potentially interested overseas teams come January. That means Liverpool are running out of time to tie down their defensive lynchpin - with a contract offer currently sitting in front of him.

The club have extended a deal towards Konate - according to Fabrizio Romano - contradicting the player’s claims that no such offer had been received.

Romano confirms contract offer

But the Italian transfer supremo has claimed that Liverpool are waiting on a response from Konate to their latest offer.

“Look for Konate what we can say is that Liverpool and Konate agents remain in direct contact,” Romano tells his Here We Go podcast audience.

“So there is a conversation ongoing.

“Liverpool made their proposal to Konate. So there is a proposal on the table to extend the contract to basically sign a new deal with Liverpool.

“There is a negotiation ongoing. Now it is on Konate to decide whether he wants to continue at the club or if he wants to try a new chapter and move probably out of England and try something different.

“We know about the interest of Real Madrid, for sure. Real Madrid remain interested in Konate but Liverpool presented their proposal on the table. So now it’s the player who has to decided what they want to do.”
