Liverpool waiting for Ibrahima Konate’s Repection after receiving a new contract
According to Romano, negotiations are still “ongoing” between the representatives and the Konate representatives.
Liverpool have made their move and submitted their offer, making it clear that they want to keep a “world-class” talent.
Romano insisted that Liverpool have done their best, and the wait is now up to Konate to decide the next step in his career, taking into account all the “several factors” involved.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said:
“Negotiations are still ongoing between Liverpool and Ibrahima Konate. Konate, as I told you a few months ago, you have to decide what he wants to do.
“He has several opportunities around Europe. Real Madrid certainly not only but Konate now has to decide because there are talks about going to Liverpool.
“Liverpool made their offer to Konate and now it’s up to you who has to decide ‘ok I want to stay and sign this new contract’ or ‘no I want to leave and try a new chapter’.
“So Liverpool are waiting for an answer from Ibou Konate. There are talks, there are talks.
“Liverpool have made their move in this case. So it depends on Konate what he wants to do. This would be financially useless, this would be if he wants to try.
“But Liverpool made their move. Now it’s up to Konate to decide what’s next for his career.”
Liverpool could fast track Marc Guehi for a move if Konate rejects a new deal
The standing contract has important implications for Liverpool’s transfer strategy.
Should Konate decide to leave, perhaps joining a European club on a free transfer next summer, the club will be forced to speed up strategies to secure a transfer.
With Konate potentially able to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from January 1, the club are said to have stepped up efforts to bid for Gehi in the next winter window.
According to the latest from Spanish journalist Bruno Alemanny, Liverpool have a deal for Gehi ‘all under wraps’.
This shows that the Reds are prepared to go all out to sign the Crystal Palace star in January rather than wait until the summer when competition will be fierce for the free agent.
With Konate’s future uncertain and sightings intensifying, Liverpool are ready for any outcome but the next move now rests entirely on the Frenchman.
