Konate has been an integral part of the defensive line of the Reds and is definitely one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>PSG want to sign Ibrahima Konate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Paris side definitely has all the resources to sign Konate, and the player might also look to leave for the French league. The towering French defender for Liverpool brings a blend of physical dominance and surprising agility to the pitch. His style is marked by a calm presence at the back, effortlessly dispatching attackers with well-timed tackles and aerial superiority.<\/p>\n<p>What stands out is his ability to carry the ball forward, initiating play from defense with confidence. Konat\u00e9\u2019s long legs aren\u2019t just for show; they give him an expansive reach, making him a formidable obstacle for any forward daring to challenge him.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_320029\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-320029\"><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md72-1024x648.jpg\" alt=\"Ibrahima Konate Liverpool\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md72-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md72-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md72-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md72-750x475.jpg 750w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md72-1140x721.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/liverpool-fc-training-session-and-press-conference-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md72.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-320029\">LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND \u2013 JANUARY 20: Ibrahima Konate of Liverpool looks on during the UEFA Champions League 2024\/25 League Phase MD7 press conference at Anfield Stadium on January 20, 2025 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by Carl Recine\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Konate has conceded 12 goals and kept eight clean sheets in 18 matches in the Premier League 2024\/2025 season. That means when Konate is on the pitch, his team concedes a goal every 124 minutes. Moreover, he\u2019s made 1.54 tackles and 0.58 interceptions for every 90 minutes he was on the pitch. Konate is also racking up about 3.66 clearances at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Should Liverpool let him leave the club?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>However, the Reds can\u2019t afford to lose Konate in the summer given that Virgil van Dijk has already entered the last few months of his contract and is set to leave the Anfield side in the summer. Therefore, the Reds can\u2019t afford to lose another quality defender in the form of Konate.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool will want to retain the 25-year-old by offering him a new contract with good pay to fend off any interest from PSG. They need him at their heart of defense to build their new backline after the departure of Van Dijk. So, even if PSG comes up with a good offer, it is close to impossible that Arne Slot will let Konate leave in the summer transfer window. Now only time will reveal what happens finally in this saga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" src=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-96x96.jpeg\" alt=\"Rohit Sarkar\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-96x96.jpeg 96w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-24x24.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-48x48.jpeg 48w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-75x75.jpeg 75w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-350x350.jpeg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 80px) 100vw, 80px\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3> <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/author\/rohit\/\"> Rohit Sarkar\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/h3>\n<p> Rohit Sarkar is a passionate journalist with a deep love for football and cricket.
