The French newspaper reports that the 27-year-old has announced to his Liverpool teammates that there will be no change of heart. He will not extend his contract with Liverpool beyond this summer.
The centre-back is set to become a free agent at the end of the month. Reports initially stated that he would sign a new deal at Anfield and remain at the club.
However, that plan suddenly changed this week. Sport Witness covered a report in France Explaining that talks with Ibrahima Konate and his team had broken down due to 'internal disagreements' at Liverpool.
This has since been supported by reports in England. It has become clear from those reports that there is a huge gap between what Liverpool are willing to pay and what Konate is currently asking for.
And it seems that this decision will be final. According to L'Equipe, he has told the Liverpool team that 'there will be no change of heart' this summer. The decision to depart has not been influenced by the dismissal of Arne Slot on Saturday.
Where next for Konate?
It remains to be seen where Ibrahima Konate's next stop will be. Reports have long linked him with a move to Real Madrid, but links have cooled in recent months due to turmoil at the Spanish club.
A report this week emphasizes that Chelsea intend to make an attempt for him this summer. They are planning a major build-up under Xabi Alonso, and the centre-back is reportedly one of their potential targets.
Konate is not expected to have a decision on his future before the World Cup. This means his name is likely to feature prominently in the summer transfer window.
