Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is reportedly interested in joining one of Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League rivals.

Konate has become one of Liverpool’s most important players since his £36 million switch from RB Leipzig in May 2021.

He has made 26 appearances for the Reds this season, often partnering Virgil van Dijk at the heart of a Liverpool defence that sits top of the Premier League table.

Liverpool recognises Konate’s immense quality and has since opened talks with him over a new contract.
