Liverpool's key central defender Ibrahima Konate is still undecided on the future. Liverpool are apparently desperate for Conate to remain in the team.
British Give Me Sports reported on the 10th (Korea time) that Conate's future in Liverpool is still uncertain, citing European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano's claim. His contract is set to expire next summer, with Romano confirming Conate has yet to make a decision on his future course of action.
The upcoming January transfer market may provide Liverpool with an opportunity to recruit a new central defender. Young defender Giovanni Leoni joined last summer but is expected to miss most of the season with a serious knee injury.
Romano responded to Conate's possible transfer "Not yet. Negotiations are underway, but no decision has been made on the player's side. Liverpool are waiting."
Liverpool has recently lost its key player without any compensation as Trent Alexander-Arnold moved to Real Madrid freely due to the expiration of his contract. Even if Konate leaves, it may not be frustrating because his performance this season was below expectations. Liverpool, however, do not want to let their key players go for free once again.

Romano claimed last summer that Liverpool were close to signing Crystal Palace defender Mark Gehi. Gehi even completed a medical test with Liverpool, but Crystal Palace suspended the deal at the end of the negotiations.
Liverpool can't just wait for Conate. We need to work behind the scenes so that we can bring in a certain central defender in January next year.
`With Conate's future still uncertain, there is a good chance that Liverpool will start recruiting a new central defender in January,' the media said."In particular, Guehi's contract is scheduled to expire next summer like Conate, so the scenario in which Liverpool seeks him once again seems a realistic option.'
