Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté
Ibrahima Konaté is set to leave Liverpool as a free agent after negotiations over a new contract broke down.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Friday, the France international will depart the club once his current deal expires, despite earlier optimism that an agreement had been reached in principle.
Talks had reportedly progressed well in recent months, with suggestions in April that a renewal was close, but no final deal has been agreed.
The development means Liverpool are now facing the prospect of losing one of their key central defenders without receiving a transfer fee, unless a late breakthrough is made in discussions.
