Ibrahima Konate signed a luxury contract in the midst of Real Madrid’s interest

Gilabola.com – Liverpool’s tough defender, Ibrahima Konate, officially signed a new sponsor contract with a large value, amid news that he had the potential to leave Anfield.

The 25 -year -old player is now entering the last year of his contract and has not approved an extension, triggering speculation that he can go free at the end of the season.

Real Madrid is said to be one of the clubs that monitors the situation seriously. This news appeared shortly after Los Blancos successfully brought Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, who also refused the contract extension before moving to the Santiago Bernabeu. Now, the public is waiting for whether a similar scenario will occur to Konate.

New cooperation with under armor

While waiting for the clarity of his future, Konate secured a large income through a sponsor agreement with under armor. In the contract, he will use the giant soccer shoes from the United States sports equipment.

“I am proud to represent under armor, a brand that has a strong history in the field of performance and innovation, with the same enthusiasm and values as me,” said Konate.
“I like the breakthrough they brought to the world of football, and I hope this cooperation will bring my career to the next level, both on and off the field.”

Interestingly, Trent Alexander-Arnold has also been part of Under Armour before moving to Adidas when he moved to Real Madrid earlier this year.

Real Madrid began to move

Last month, a report in Spain said that Real Madrid had contacted Liverpool to express their interest in Konate. The Reds management is reportedly open to sell the defender, in order to avoid free departure next year.

Liverpool are believed to be tempted to release it if there is an offer of around £ 43.5 million (around Rp888 billion). However, their bargaining position is not too strong considering the remaining Konate contract is less than one year.

Rebuttal Konate Problem Rumors Negotiations

Earlier this year, Konate had denied rumors that he deliberately postponed the contract signature. He explained that all the news circulating on social media was not true.
“They (Liverpool) gave me an offer, I gave an answer, and that’s all. The rest is just a hoax,” he said.

According to him, even reports from famous journalists who said he almost signed a contract last November was not in accordance with reality.

Konate closed with a mysterious statement: “I have never been in the stage almost signing the contract. We’ll see what will happen later.”
