Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate plans to walk away from the Reds when his contract expires at the end of next season, according to Foot Mercato.

The Merseyside giants have been active during the early part of the transfer window and have already recruited Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.

Their spending spree is expected to continue and reports claim that they could recruit a marquee striker once Darwin Nunez heads for the exit door. 

Amidst this, Foot Mercato claim that the Reds face a new problem with Konate, who has not been convinced to commit his future to the club.

The Frenchman has no desire to extend his contract beyond June 2026 and has his sights on securing a free transfer away from the Merseysiders.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are among clubs monitoring his situation and could propose a pre-contract next winter.

Liverpool have still not given up and remain optimistic of persuading the former RB Leipzig man to pen a new long-term contract soon.
