Club career
Youth
Born in Miami, Florida, to Haitian parents of Dominican descent, Konrad moved to Spain at the age of 10 when his father took a job at the Haitian consulate in Barcelona.[3] While playing for local youth side CF Damm, he was discovered and offered the chance to play for FC Barcelona. He developed in Barcelona's youth system after joining in 2013.[4][5][6]
Barcelona B
Konrad made his debut for the reserves on December 1, 2018, coming off the bench and playing 12 minutes against Valencia Mestalla in the Segunda División B. He conceded a penalty in the final minutes of the game causing his side to go 2–1 down, but teammate Ronald Araújo equalized late, ending the match 2–2.[7]
He made his first start for the team on December 15, 2019, in a 3–1 win against La Nucía.[8] He was replaced by Dani Morer in the 70th minute.
He scored his first goal for Barça B on February 2, 2020, a stoppage time winner in a 2–1 win against AE Prat, after coming on in the 81st minute.[9][10]
Barcelona
On September 12, 2020, Konrad made his first team debut in a pre-season game against Gimnàstic Tarragona, in the process becoming the first American to play for Barcelona's first team.[11][12] He made his official debut for Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League group stage match against Dynamo Kyiv on November 24, 2020, replacing Francisco Trincão in a 4–0 win.[13] He appeared once again for Barça in the Champions League, coming off the bench again in a 3–0 away victory over Ferencváros, and later the following January in the Copa del Rey in a 2–0 away victory against Cornellà.[14][15]
Marseille
On June 29, 2021, Konrad signed with Ligue 1 club Marseille, with Barcelona reserving the right to 50% of a future sale.[16][17] He made his league debut on August 8 against Montpellier. He recorded his first assist in the same match on the first goal of a 3–2 comeback win.[18]
Loan to Olympiacos
On August 13, 2022, Konrad was loaned to Olympiacos in Greece.[19]
Loan to Eibar
On August 9, 2023, Konrad returned to Spain, joining Segunda División side SD Eibar on a one-year loan deal.[20]
International career
Konrad has represented the United States at the under-16, under-18, and under-20 levels.[21] In July 2019, he was called up to the under-20 team for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.[22][23] He started every match in the tournament until the United States was eliminated by Ecuador in the quarterfinals.[24]
He received his first call up to the senior national team for friendly matches against Wales and Panama in November 2020.[25] He made his debut on November 12, 2020, in the friendly against Wales as a starter and was replaced by Ulysses Llanez in the 71st minute.[26]
