Konate Sparks Controversy About His Future with Liverpool
Konate, who is 26 years old, has not yet renewed his contract with Liverpool, opening the door for speculation about his departure on a free transfer in the summer of 2026, amid clear interest from Real Madrid in acquiring the French center-back.
In an interview with the French program 'Telefoot', Konate was asked whether his national teammate and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe was trying to influence him to join the royal club.
Konate jokingly replied: 'Yes, Kylian Mbappe calls me every two hours.'
This sarcastic remark elicited laughter from those present in the studio, but it did not hide the growing anticipation surrounding his future, especially since he is considered one of the top names likely to strengthen the Spanish club's defense next season.
