Ibrahima Konaté reacts to new announcement at Liverpool amid future doubts
Ibrahima Konaté has posted a message on social media after an announcement on what may be his final season at Liverpool.
Arne Slot is two wins away from winning the title during his first season in English football, following Liverpool’s 2-1 against West Ham last weekend.
The Reds are 13 points clear of second placed Arsenal with Konate playing a pivotal role for his side, keeping 10 clean sheets in 26 appearances.
Liverpool‘s impressive campaign has seen the 25-year-old become one of seven players from the club nominated for a place in the Premier League Team of the Season on EA Sports FC.

In a post from Konate’s official Instagram account on Wednesday (16 April), the defender shared an image of himself and teammate Alexis Mac Allister, with the pair apart of seven Liverpool players nominated for the Premier League Team of the Season on the EA Sports FC game.
Konate’s future at Anfield remains up in the air after a years of major uncertainty across the club in terms of contracts.
Mohamed Salah has now committed the next two years to Liverpool, and Mick Brown has told Football Insider captain Virgil van Dijk has already also signed.
But Trent Alexander-Arnold appears to be on the way to Real Madrid at the expiry of his own deal in the summer, and Football Insider have reported a lack of progress towards a new Konate contract at Anfield.

Football insider Verdict
It’s been an excellent debut campaign for Slot and one which not many expected prior to the start of the season.
As we have seen in the past, some club’s struggle after losing such influential managers, and perhaps most believed that the same would happen following Jürgen Klopp’s departure.
However, even without bringing in major signings, the Dutch coach maximised the potential of the options available to win the league.
It means they can now secure the title as early as next weekend, should Arsenal lose to Ipswich, and Liverpool beat Leicester City.
