Ibrahima Konate is said to be disappointed by the state of the current extension talks with Liverpool, the Guardian reports.
The defender’s contract expires next summer and there are fears he could follow Trent Alexander-Arnold in leaving on a free transfer if there is not a swift resolution.
The Guardian adds: “Konate’s contract talks were delayed by Liverpool’s focus on negotiating with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk last season, with both signing new two-year deals in April before re-signing the Dutchman’s defensive partner became the club’s priority.
“The 26-year-old is understood to be disappointed by the structure of Liverpool’s offer, with his representatives believed to be pushing for a higher basic wage after the offer was heavily based on meeting certain performance targets.
“Liverpool plan to revive discussions with Konate later in the summer but are adamant they will not be forced into overpaying.”
