PSG, Real Madrid Eye Blockbuster Move for Key Player Who Liverpool Want Over £50M | OneFootball

With Milan Skriniar now on loan at Fenerbahce, Paris Saint-Germain could be looking for a new center-back this summer. While Skriniar’s move isn’t permanent, PSG are expected to part ways with him for good, making a replacement a priority.

Last month, Anfield Watch reported that PSG are keen to sign Ibrahima Konate, adding further uncertainty to the defender’s future. The club is eager to bring him back to Paris, where his career started at Paris FC before moving to RB Leipzig.

Meanwhile, if Liverpool can’t reach a contract extension with Konate, they reportedly have a bold plan to sell him and use the funds to strengthen their attack.

Football Insider reports that Real Madrid and PSG are eyeing a move for Konate, who has yet to make progress in contract talks with Liverpool.

Several clubs, including PSG and Real Madrid, are reportedly monitoring Ibrahima Konaté’s situation, with potential moves in the summer. TEAMtalk also notes that Liverpool offered Konaté a contract extension last year, which has been the focus of ongoing talks.

While Liverpool has not set an official asking price, interested clubs believe a bid over £50 million would be required, considering Konaté was signed for £36 million in 2021.
