Liverpool is yet to resolve the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah but is set to offer another player a new long-term deal.
The Reds have started the season in remarkable fashion with nine wins from ten games in all competitions
Despite signing just one outfield player during the summer transfer window, it is the mainstays who have really impressed.
the likes of Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijkand Salah have all stepped up to the plate
players such as Ibrahima Konate, Ryan Gravenberch, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have also shone
Konate has caught the eye, in particular, having filled in expertly alongside Van Dijk at center-back ever since replacing Jarrell Quansah at half-time of the opening weekend victory over Ipswich
The Frenchman has helped to keep five clean sheets in the following nine games and even scored twice in the victories over AC Milan and Wolves.
according to Rousing The Kop, Liverpool is set to reward Konate for his efforts so far this season with a new long-term contract to take him past the end of the 2025-26 campaign, when his current deal is set to expire.
It's added that a new contract is "very much on the agenda" for the 25-year-old and will be dealt with "as a matter of course"
It's also claimed that sources have indicated that Arne Slot has marked Konate out as a big part of his long-term plans at Anfield
Since signing from the German outfit in the summer of 2021, Konate has made 99 appearances across all competitions for Liverpool
despite his ability to slot in when required and impressive physical ability, Konate has received his fair share of criticism for some unconvincing performances
However, Konate has come on leaps and bounds and impressed club staff with his hard work and turnaround this season
