Luis Enrique wants Liverpool’s best player at PSG in the summer 👀 Hands off. He’s going nowhere! ✋
Reports from France indicate that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is eyeing Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate for the upcoming transfer window.
Konate, who has two years remaining on his Liverpool contract, has caught the attention of the Ligue 1 champions as they seek a new centre-back.
While PSG has yet to make a direct approach to Liverpool, their interest has been communicated through intermediaries. Konate appears happy at Liverpool and is expected to enter talks for a contract extension with the club’s management soon.
Liverpool, having recently lost Joel Matip after his contract expired, is unlikely to let another crucial center-back leave.
Despite a minor decline in form at the end of the season, the 25-year-old Konate has been largely impressive, earning high praise from Liverpool legend Phil Thompson, who described him as an ‘absolute dream’ player.
Konate has been a formidable defensive force, second only to Virgil van Dijk in aerial duels won last season, and boasts a notable 75% tackle success rate.
As Konate nears his prime, Liverpool will likely stress that they are more than just a stepping stone to clubs like PSG, which has yet to secure a Champions League title.
Soon, Konate will join the French national team in their quest for a third European title this summer, with no immediate indications of a transfer away from Liverpool.
