‘Ecstatic About This’ ‘Too Expensive’ Fans React As Liverpool Weigh Up Move For 45M Rated Bundesliga Star

Liverpool have added RB Leipzig’s Ibrahima Konate, to their list of centre-back targets, according to reports in the German media.

The Frenchman is a teammate of Dayot Upamecano and it is believed he could cost slightly more than his fellow countryman, with a reported price tag of €50m (£45m).

Konate, who has also been linked with Arsenal in recent weeks, has had his injury problems this season, having started just two league games, and fans on Twitter are not sure whether the defender would be the right target:

As Upamecano has the bigger reputation out of the two defenders, it is interesting to see that the Reds may opt against signing the France international in favour of his lesser-known centre-half partner.

It may simply be the case that Leipzig are more willing to let Konate leave before the end of the season, while it is thought they may hold on to Upamecano until the summer when his release clause comes into effect.
