Liverpool ready to sign for RB Leipzig defender

Liverpool could supposedly sign RB Leipzig centre-back Ibrahima Konate for between €£28.2m and £29.5m during this current summer’s transfer window.

The current Premier League champions are accepted to have recognized the youngster as a possible target as they get ready to take another new defender to Anfield in the impending market.

Different reports have asserted that Konate has a £34.7m release clause in his present contract, but as per Bild journalist Christian Falk, the buy out fee is actually between  £28.2m and £29.5m.

The 21-year-old, who has also been connected with Arsenal and Manchester United, has scored once in 16 appearances at club level during the 2020-21 campaign.

Ibrahima Konate has battled for regular action recently, however, and has not started a Bundesliga match since picking up an ankle injury towards the end of 2020.

The Frenchman recently said that he is disregarding the hypothesis encompassing his future.
