Konaté Promises Free Exit from Liverpool, Then Reconsiders

French centre‑back Ibrahima Konaté initially announced he would leave Liverpool on a free transfer. In mid‑April, however, he pledged his commitment to the club and said a new contract is about to be signed.

Konaté emphasized that staying at Liverpool is the best move for his career and hinted that manager Arne Slot backs the decision. The earlier rumors had fueled speculation about a possible summer departure.
