Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad have emerged as interested parties in the pursuit of Ibrahima Konate. The defender is set to leave Liverpool as a free agent when his current contract expires on June 30.
With Konate's departure from Liverpool looming, what has been described as a "scramble" for one of European football's most physically imposing centre-backs is now underway. Al-Ittihad have positioned themselves among the clubs seeking to acquire the French international's services.
Konate's status as a free agent means he is able to negotiate with potential suitors without Liverpool receiving any transfer fee. His contract expiration on June 30 marks the end of his time at Anfield, opening the door for clubs like Al-Ittihad to secure his signature without the need for a transfer payment.
The interest from Al-Ittihad highlights the Saudi Pro League's continued efforts to attract high-profile European talent. Konate's reputation as a dominant physical presence in central defense has made him an attractive target for clubs across multiple leagues.
