Liverpool eyeing Ibrahima Konate agreement
According to TBR Football, Liverpool are still hopeful of an agreement with the player. Richard Hughes has held talks with the player’s camp this week, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Graeme Bailey said on TBR: “I am told Liverpool’s footballing hierarchy, including chief Richard Hughes, have held talks this week, which is an indication from both sides that they are very much still open to a deal.
“Konate’s camp insists they have not reached an agreement to join a Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, etc – they are adamant that is not the case, but the closer we get to the New Year, it will become more and more unlikely that he signs.
“But let’s see how the talks go, Liverpool remain hopeful Konate will commit to fresh terms.”
