Ibrahima Konate has rejected Liverpool’s contract offer, with Real Madrid monitoring his situation as talks stall.
Ibrahima Konate has reportedly rejected Liverpool’s initial contract extension offer, according to The Guardian. The French defender is said to be unhappy with a deal structured heavily on performance-related bonuses.
“Konate is said to be disappointed with the structure of the proposed terms,” the report stated. His representatives are pushing for a higher fixed wage, arguing his importance to the squad deserves better guarantees.
With his contract entering its final year, Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation and could make a move.
