Liverpool's contract negotiations with center-back Ibou Konate have become urgent according to club insiders. The 26-year-old France international has established himself as a key player under Arne Slot, showing improved form after returning from compassionate leave following his father's death. Konate's commitment to the team has been evident through his willingness to play through injuries during defensive shortages. With elite center-backs in their prime rarely available on free transfers, analysts warn that Liverpool faces significant risk if they fail to secure a new deal.
