Ibrahima Konate claims ongoing speculation over his contract talks “gets him into trouble” with Liverpool fans, who he insists “don’t know all the ins and outs.”Konate’s future remains the subject of intense scrutiny, with the Frenchman yet to agree a new deal despite over a year of speculation.Speaking to broadcaster Telefoot while on duty with France, the 26-year-old admitted perceptions of his situation had been “complicated” by the rumour mill.“It’s clear we think about it,” he said when asked about how the uncertainty could impact his relationship with supporters.“But what’s complicated is that we can’t say everything because there’s a lot of things being said in the media.“Sometimes I see things and I’m like, ‘oh la la’, and it gets me into trouble with the Liverpool fans even though they don’t know all the ins and outs.“Anyway, I hope and I know that in any case the most important thing is that I’m happy.“We’ll see [if an announcement is made soon], we will see. In any case we hope so.”Crucially, while Konate acknowledged the impact it had on his standing among Liverpool fans, he gave little indication that he is resolved to stay.When does Konate’s current contract expire?The centre-back’s current deal will expire at the end of the season, meaning as it stands he will be able to leave on a free transfer on July 1.It is also important to note that clubs outside of England can announce a pre-contract agreement from January 1.What are Konate’s reported wages?It has been claimed that Konate’s current salary is worth around £70,000 to £80,000 per week and that his representatives were seeking a rise to £200,000 a week.However, The Athletic’s David Ornstein recently told NBC Sports that his existing deal earns him “more than double” the figures claimed, suggesting his wages are £150,000 a week.Have Liverpool offered Konate a new contract?Liverpool are reported to have made a number of proposals to Konate’s camp, with it even claimed this week that the Premier League champions had now tabled their final offer.In November of last year it was revealed that the club had already offered him a new deal, though the player himself explained in May that he “replied to them with something” but was “never close to signing it.”Twelve months on and the situation appears largely unchanged.Are Real Madrid, PSG and others interested in Konate?Real Madrid have been widely credited with an interest in Konate, which is not unrealistic given their penchant for the free agent market.Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have also been linked with move for the No. 5, who captained France to a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan on Sunday.
