After returning to the club halfway through the 2014 season, Konate made his first appearance for Malmö FF, coming against Kalmar on 26 July 2014, starting a match before being substituted at half time, as the club won 3–1.[12] Following his return, he competed for a spot in the starting line-up against regular Ricardinho.[13] Konate's breakthrough came when he was selected to start in the deciding qualifying game against Red Bull Salzburg on 27 August 2014 in which Malmö FF qualified for the group stage of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League.[14] Konate made three more UEFA Champions League appearances, as the club were eliminated in the Group Stage.[15] His contributions saw Malmö FF win the league once again after the club beat AIK 3–2 on 5 October 2014.[16] At the end of the 2014 season, he went on to make 11 appearances in all competitions.

However, at the start of the 2015 season, Konate found his first team place limited and was placed on the substitute bench, due to Yoshimar Yotún being Malmö FF's first choice left–back position.[17] It wasn't until on 11 May 2015 when he made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a late substitute, in a 2–2 draw against IF Elfsborg.[18] Following the absence of Yotún due to his international commitment, Konate made three more starts between 3 June 2015 and 4 July 2015.[19] Following the return of Yotún, he was demoted back to the substitute bench for the next three months and only made two appearances around that time.[20] After Yotún moved to the left–midfield position, Konate began to receive a handful of first team football, playing in the left–back position for the rest of the 2015 season.[21] He later said that his first team run ins gave him confidence.[22] At the end of the 2015 season, Konate went on to make twenty–four appearances in all competitions.

I did well when I got the chance. Then it is clear that you want to play all matches, but that is in football. It has been a good season."[32] At the end of the 2016 season, Konate went on to make twenty–four appearances in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2017 season, Konate was linked with a move away from Malmö FF, with European clubs, such as, Bordeaux and Serie A clubs.[33] At the start of the 2017 season, he appeared seven times for the club, making three starts.[34] This lasted until Konate suffered a hamstring injury in the 27th minute during a match against IF Elfsborg and was substituted, as Malmö FF won 2–1 on 8 May 2017.[35] After the match, it was announced that he would be out for two months.[36] By late–June, Konate recovered from the injury and returned to training.[37] It wasn't until on 8 July 2017 when he returned to the starting line–up against BK Häcken and played 81 minutes before being substituted, as the club won 1–0, in what turned out to be his last appearance for Malmö FF.[38] By the time Konate departed from the club, he made nine appearances in all competitions.
