Since our new manager joined this hasn’t just been the same. He’s good but I feel like I don’t belong here. This move is for the best” – Liverpool Defender Secures Summer Transfer to Premier League rival Despite amazing performance during Pre-Season Tour. This can’t be happening 😳💔 He can’t just leave like that 🥲💔 We can’t lose him now
Ibrahima Konaté’s future at Liverpool is now in question as reports indicate that manager Arne Slot has serious reservations about the defender.
Konaté, who was brought in from RB Leipzig three years ago for £36 million, was initially viewed as Virgil Van Dijk’s long-term replacement. However, his tenure at Anfield has not unfolded as expected.
Over the past two seasons, the French defender has started in only half of Liverpool’s Premier League matches and has yet to secure a consistent spot as Jurgen Klopp’s preferred centre-back.
Slot is reportedly concerned about Konaté’s injury record and his performance levels in both games and training sessions.
According to a recent report by Football Insider, Slot “doesn’t favor” the 25-year-old, casting doubt on his role in the team’s future.
Although a transfer may not occur this summer, Konaté could see a significant reduction in his playing time.
With just two years left on his contract, the upcoming season could be pivotal in determining his future at Liverpool.
