Konate to leave Liverpool? Bayern Munich transfer ruled out as trio expected to stay put

<p>According to <a href="https://cfbayerninsider.com/2025/08/bayern-liverpool-bundesliga-premier-league-transfer-news-falk/" target="_blank">CFBayern Insider,</a> with Bayern centre-back Kim Min-jae yet to be sold, he is expected to be with Vincent Kompany's side for the new season. As a result, a move for Liverpool's Konate can be 'ruled out'. If the South Korean international is sold, that could change, however.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Konate is in the last year of his Liverpool contract, has previously <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ibrahima-konate-rejects-new-offer-leave-liverpool-this-summer-interest-real-madrid/blt6bd34f898206b13a" target="_blank">rejected a new deal from the Reds</a>, and has been<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ibrahima-konate-tells-liverpool-join-real-madrid-summer-reds-cash-in-avoid-trent-alexander-arnold-situation/blt44b2a7f7b959b71a" target="_blank">&nbsp;linked with Madrid</a>. The Merseyside outfit do not want to see a repeat of the situation where Trent Alexander-Arnold ran down his contract and joined Los Blancos this summer, but they are running out of time to extend Konate's Anfield stay.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The report adds that, along with defender Min-jae, wingers Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry are expected to stay put for the time being at Bayern. Their importance looked to have increased following <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/simply-incredible-leroy-sane-convinced-to-leave-bayern-munich-galatasaray-revealed-coach-okan-buruk-explains-plans-dream-signing/blt925f38a9c0c1a88a" target="_blank">Leroy Sane's move to Galatasaray</a> but they may struggle for minutes following <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/luis-diaz-completes-transfer-to-bayern-munich-from-liverpool-links-up-with-harry-kane/blt567916aaf11bd918" target="_blank">Luis Diaz's arrival</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>France international Konate, 26, is expected to start in Liverpool's defence alongside captain Virgil van Dijk but his days at Arne Slot's team may be numbered - unless they can strike a new deal for the 6ft 4in player soon.</p>
