Al-Ittihad Monitors Konate's Situation and Enters Race to Sign Him

The "Foot Mercato" website revealed that Al-Ittihad Club has set French defender Ibrahima Konaté as one of its main targets in the transfer market, taking advantage of the uncertainty surrounding his future with Liverpool.

According to reports, the Saudi Federation is showing serious interest in signing the player if he leaves Liverpool, especially after the stumbling of contract renewal negotiations, which has opened the door for several clubs to move to sign him.

English and French sources confirm that Konate is closer to leaving "the Reds" after both parties failed to reach a final agreement on a new contract, despite the club management's ongoing efforts to keep him.

The interest in the French defender is not limited to Al-Ittihad alone, as major European clubs like Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are closely monitoring the player's situation, indicating a strong competition for his signature in the upcoming period.

Konaté is considered one of the most prominent defenders in Europe in recent years, having been a key element in Liverpool's defense since joining from Leipzig in 2021. He has also become an important pillar in the French national team.

So far, the player's final destination has not been decided, but Al-Ittihad's involvement indicates that Saudi clubs continue to target top-tier stars in Europe. Meanwhile, everyone is awaiting Konaté's decisive decision regarding his future in the coming weeks.
