Transfer News: Chelsea, Manchester United excited about Liverpool target

Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on a move for RB Leipzig’s Ibrahima Konate notwithstanding his strong connections with a move to Liverpool, as per EuroSport.

A week ago, The Athletic guaranteed Liverpool were working to sealing a deal for  France international defender who is said to have a  £34.16m release clause in his contract.

Notwithstanding, this report proposes both Manchester United and Chelsea are also excited about a move for the 21-year-old and keeping in mind that no advances have yet been made, they should choose whether they want to join the race and step up on that interest quickly.

When at first responding to the Liverpool news, The Athletic’s football analyst Tom Worville depicted Konate as ‘unbelievable in the air’ and said he ‘loves to carry the ball forward’ while also waxing lyrical about his ‘great speed’.

In his profound dive on the publication discussing what Konate could bring to Liverpool, the article refers to a ‘information scout at a top European club’ who noticed the French defender had been ‘timed as one of the three quickest defenders in the continent’s top five leagues within the previous two seasons’.

In view of those statistics just as the reality he’s accessible for around £34m and has such a large amount of his career ahead of him, it would appear to be astute to at any attempt to battle their North West rivals this summer.

In spite of Manchester United sitting in second right now with a sensibly sound four-point between them and Leicester City in third, they have conceded more than Chelsea, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur this season, so stopping gaps defensively could help them attempt and close the gap as far as truly trying for the title.
