According to AS, the reason is Real Madrid, with Konate turning down all recent offers from the reigning Premier League champions.
It’s understood that Konate’s reluctance is starting to worry Liverpool’s hierarchy, who don’t want a repeat of last summer’s Trent Alexander-Arnold debacle.
Konate has been a key player for Arne Slot so far this season, making 41 appearances and popping up with two goals across all competitions.
