He is reportedly hesitant to agree to a new deal, feeling let down by the current terms.
Konaté’s camp is said to be pushing for a higher base salary, as the offer heavily relies on performance-based incentives. His refusal has sparked concern at Anfield, especially after Trent Alexander-Arnold ran down his contract before securing a move to Real Madrid.
Despite the setback, Liverpool reportedly intend to reopen contract discussions with Konaté later this summer. However, the club is firm in its stance that they won’t be pressured into offering inflated wages to secure his extension.
