Despite not being able to say a proper farewell in his final game, Konate has expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to represent Liverpool and has promised to carry the club with him wherever he goes. He has also hinted that he will return to Anfield in the future, saying "see you again soon, inshallah."

Konate's departure marks the second time in two seasons that a starting Liverpool defender has left the club without a proper farewell, following Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure last season.
