Liverpool –
Ibrahima Konate reportedly one more step to join Liverpool. Here’s the defender’s profile RB Leipzig that.
Konate is rumored to be joining Liverpool from RB Leipzig. The French player’s clause, which is worth 35 million euros, is reportedly going to be redeemed by the Reds in the next few days.
Reportedly, Konate has even undergone medical tests at Liverpool. This means that his move to Anfield is a matter of time.
Konate himself is plotted as Liverpool’s new defender next season. The defense line has indeed become an area that has influenced the Red’s performance throughout the 2020/2021 season, which made him lose the title.
Injuries to Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, and several other pillars who used to fill the center-back post made Liverpool’s back line porous. So recruiting a new defender is an option for Juergen Klopp.
And Ibrahima Konate which Liverpool apparently brought in. How good is Konate?
Konate, who is only 22 years old, has only played in Leipzig this season. After last season only appearing 11 times in all competitions, the former Sochaux player played 21 times in the 2020/2021 season.
According to chooseKonate made 4 tackles, with his average tackle success reaching 66.7 percent in the Bundesliga. He also made 23 clearances, 3 blocks and 8 interceptions throughout the season.
Konate can also help attack. Noted, he made 4 shots, 2 were on target, and he scored one goal.
Konate’s arrival itself will take its toll. Ozan Kabak, who has just been recruited by the Reds, is reportedly in danger of being released to make room in the squad.
In Liverpool, Ibrahima Konate predictably will have no difficulty adapting. He will reunite with Naby Keita, his former colleague at Leipzig.
