Ibrahima Konate has been a key figure for Liverpool since joining from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2021. The French centre-back is regarded as one of the leaders of the Reds' defence in Arne Slot's first season in charge and has remained a regular starter under the Dutchman.

Ibrahima Konate's new Liverpool contract is only 'a matter of time,' according to Fabrizio Romano. The French defender is back from injury and deemed fit to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday when Liverpool clash with club legend and former managerial candidate Xabi Alonso.
