PSG fascinated with Liverpool’s Konate

Paris Saint-Germain are fascinated with signing Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate in the summertime, writes Julien Laurens for the ESPN. They see him as a super candidate to fit into their again line subsequent to Marquinhos, and as a possible a part of their long-term plans when the Brazilian veteran leaves. What’s extra, Konate is tempted by the prospect of returning to the town of his delivery, along with his present contract with the Premier League leaders set to run out in 2026.

Chatting with the press lately, Konate confirmed he’s been supplied a brand new deal to stay at Anfield past that, however he understandably wouldn’t make any touch upon whether or not he intends to signal it.

For his or her half, Liverpool are clearly reluctant to half methods with the centre-back who has firmly established himself as an everyday companion to Virgil van Dijk within the coronary heart of defence, and it stays to be seen in the event that they’ll have the ability to persuade him to remain put.
