With Milan Škriniar now playing for Fenerbahçe SK, Paris Saint-Germain could be eyeing a new center-back, either in January or during the summer transfer window.
One name reportedly on PSG’s radar is Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté. The 24-year-old, under contract until 2026, fits the club’s focus on French talent.
If Konaté doesn’t sign an extension, he could become a free agent at 27—right in his prime. Should he enter the final year of his deal or become available, PSG might consider bringing him back to France, according to a recent report.
PSG prepared to make a symbolic offer to Ibrahima Konaté
According to Anfield Watch, PSG are prepared to offer Konaté the opportunity to become club captain if he decides to leave Liverpool and join them this summer.

CaughtOffside reported on Friday that Real Madrid are closely monitoring Konaté as they aim to strengthen their defense, regardless of whether they secure Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The report also notes that Liverpool are actively working to extend Konaté’s contract, while Real Madrid remain attentive to the defender’s situation. Konaté’s value is currently estimated at €50 million by Transfermarkt.
