Real Madrid informed Liverpool they have no plans to pursue center-back Ibrahima Konaté, despite having him on their shortlist for a potential free transfer in 2026.
The 26-year-old French international, who joined from RB Leipzig in 2021 for £36 million, has been a standout under manager Arne Slot, starting every Premier League match this season despite some recent lapses.
Liverpool value him highly and have a contract extension on the table, with talks ongoing as they prioritize securing his future amid their strong league position.
