Ibrahima Konate tells Mohamed Salah ‘be careful’ in message after Liverpool latest
Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate sent a playful warning message for Mohamed Salah after the forward’s latest social media post.
Liverpool are preparing for a crucial Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, 5 March, with no FA Cup fixture this weekend following their shock exit to Plymouth Argyle.
Salah has been touted to win the Ballon d’Or following his incredible performances this season, and his fitness has been vital to Liverpool’s dominance, as Arne Slot’s side sit 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The Egyptian has just a few months left on his current deal, and while Liverpool are close to securing a contract extension for Salah, no official announcement has been made yet.
Meanwhile, Konate has been linked with a move to PSG, but speculation hasn’t stopped him from engaging with teammates online.

Ibrahima Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold react to Mohamed Salah’s latest message
Salah shared a post on Instagram with the caption “Ramadan Kareem” and in the photo, the Egyptian forward is seen standing on a sofa while putting up decorations. This prompted a lighthearted response from Konate, who jokingly warned: “Brother, be careful please.”
Other notable players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, also reacted to the post. Both defenders, like Salah, are nearing the end of their contracts, adding to Liverpool’s growing list of renewal priorities.
Salah has been ever-present for Liverpool this season, playing a crucial role in their title charge. With the club entering the business end of the campaign, Konate’s comment likely carried a hint of concern for his teammate.
Liverpool must secure Salah and Konate’s future amid growing interest
Despite ongoing speculation and strong interest from clubs in the Middle East, Salah remains happy at Liverpool. However, with his contract expiring at the end of the season, the club must act swiftly to secure his future and prevent him from becoming a free agent. Konate’s contract is also expiring but in 2026, though he has also caught the eye of plenty of clubs.
The forward has been pivotal for Slot, registering 30 goals and 22 assists across all competitions. His 17 Premier League assists leave him just three away from equalling the all-time record shared by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry.
Meanwhile, as Liverpool prepare to take on PSG in the Champions League, Konate – alongside Reds fans – is hoping Salah stays fit and ready for the crucial fixture.
