Liverpool’s strong start to this season cannot be overshadowed by the fact that their three main players are out of contact at the end of this season. The club is close to finalizing a new contract with Ibrahima Konaté, with only “small details” remaining, according to Fabrizio Romano. Meanwhile, the Premier League giants are also negotiating new deals for other major players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah, all of whom are out of contract at Anfield in 2025.
Speculation is growing that one of Liverpool’s key stars could leave the club at the end of the season, with recent rumours linking Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, Liverpool have secured the future of Jarell Quansah, as the 21-year-old defender signed a new long-term contract with the Reds last week, ensuring his continued presence at Anfield.
New Konate deal on the track
Konaté, who joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2021, has already made 99 appearances for the club and is set to reach the 100-game milestone in their upcoming match against Chelsea. The 21-year-old Frenchman is currently earning £70,000 per week, with a new contract likely to reflect his growing importance within the squad.
Liverpool are close to securing another key contract extension, this time for centre-back Ibrahima Konaté. According to Fabrizio Romano, the club has made significant progress in negotiations with the French international, with only “small details” left to finalise after starting talks in early October.
In his YouTube update, Romano shared that Konaté is “very happy” at Liverpool and feels valued under manager Arne Slot, solidifying his importance to the team and the club’s future.

Securing a new contract for Ibrahima Konaté is a crucial move for Liverpool, as the center-back has proven himself vital to the club’s future with standout performances this season. With both Konaté and Jarell Quansah set to commit their futures to Liverpool, the club can confidently prepare for Virgil van Dijk’s eventual departure. Konaté is ready to take charge of the backline for years to come and could step into a leadership role as senior players in Arne Slot’s squad start to move on from Anfield.
