Konate is in lengthy talks with Liverpool over an extension from October 2024.

The Frenchman told reporters last April that he was “close” to an agreement. But the two sides failed to reach a solution, prompting Liverpool to confirm his departure amid reports that he has already signed a four-season deal with the Merengues.

Konate joined Liverpool from Leipzig in 2021, activating a £35 million ($47.4 million) release clause.

The Roosters player started alongside Dutchman Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defense and made 183 appearances for the English club.
