Arne Slot Wants Ibrahima Konate to Stay at Liverpool

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has emphasized that Ibrahima Konate is a vital player for the team and the club wants him to sign a new contract.

Konate has struggled with injuries and personal issues this season, but has shown good form since returning after his father's death. Liverpool have started rebuilding their central defense, signing Giovanni Leoni and Jérémy Jacquet.

Slot wants Konate to stay and is hopeful of offering him a new contract. "We wouldn't be in talks with him if we didn't want him to stay," Slot said.
