Is Ibrahima Konaté on his way to Paris Saint-Germain? The French defender is leaning toward a return to his hometown, as PSG takes the lead over Liverpool in securing his signature.
According to Sports Zone, PSG has moved ahead of Liverpool in negotiations, with Konaté’s contract at Anfield set to expire in 2026. The Reds are scrambling to keep him, especially with Virgil van Dijk also considering an exit. A new contract offer is reportedly in the works.
However, recent reports suggest Konaté is more drawn to a move back to France.
“As of now, Ibou prefers joining PSG, and Liverpool is aware of it,” Sports Zone reported on X.

While he remains diplomatic, his uncertainty fuels speculation about a high-stakes summer transfer window.
