Liverpool FC have reached an agreement with RG Leipzig to sign Ibrahima Konate
Liverpool football club on the early hours of Friday, almost a week after they qualified for Champions league have reached an agreement with german giants Leipzig for their 22 year old defender Ibrahima Konate.
Konate made 21 appearances for Leipzig this season, including eight Bundesliga starts as the club finished second – 13 points behind champions Bayern Munich.
The France U21 international would boost Jurgen Klopp’s defensive options, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all hoping to return for the start of next season after missing the majority of the 2020-21 campaign through injury.
The injuries saw Fabinho and Jordan Henderson at times deployed at centre-back, while Nathaniel Phillips and Rhys Williams were the defensive pairing at the tail-end of the season as Liverpool secured a top-four place and Champions League football next year.
