Ibrahima Konaté’s future at Liverpool is now uncertain as reports suggest that manager Arne Slot has significant concerns about the defender.
Konaté, who joined the club from RB Leipzig for £36 million three years ago, was initially seen as the successor to Virgil Van Dijk. However, his time at Anfield has not gone as planned.
The Frenchman has started only half of Liverpool’s Premier League games over the last two seasons and has not established himself as the first-choice centre-back under Jurgen Klopp.
Now, Slot reportedly has doubts about Konaté, particularly regarding his injury history and performance levels, both in matches and in training.
According to a recent report from Football Insider, Slot “doesn’t fancy” the 25-year-old, raising questions about his future at the club.
While a transfer might not happen this summer, Konaté could see his playing time significantly reduced.
With just two years remaining on his contract, the upcoming season could be crucial in determining his future at Liverpool.
