Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate said he is close to agreeing a new contract with the Premier League club, with his current deal due to expire at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old France international, who joined from RB Leipzig in 2021 for a fee of £36 million ($49 million), had been linked in the media with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
“I think everyone wished for that as soon as possible, but we are in a good way.
“For sure, there is a big chance that I'm here next season. This is what I've always wanted.”
"We are close to an agreement. I have a special relationship not only with the fans, but with every single person who works at the club. This club means so much to me.”

“I'm waiting to sort the contract, but when everything is sorted you will have to ask Richard Hughes (Liverpool' sporting director) what I said to him in September and November, before everyone talked about everything. He's going to say something to make everyone quiet,” he added.
The current campaign is set to end without silverware for the defender, with Liverpool eliminated from the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, and sitting fifth in the Premier League with five matches left.
