The local journalists made fun of Ibrahima Konate, the defender for Liverpool, while he was having a press conference with the French press today. That’s because a reporter brought up the fact that the national team is stacked with Paris Saint-Germain players and inquired about any efforts to convince the center-back for the Reds to sign a contract with the Ligue 1 team.
Konate teased the question before announcing that he is currently fully committed to Liverpool. RMC Sport provided the quotations. Although it’s true that I’m from Paris, I’m at Liverpool, so I won’t respond to what they do,” Konate remarked. Although Konate was born in Paris, he didn’t actually play in France until he was a player for FC Sochaux in his early career.
After joining RB Leipzig in 2017, he relocated to Germany. He was purchased by Liverpool in 2021 for €40 million. Reds supporters shouldn’t be concerned about the defender’s move to Paris Saint-Germain despite this little joke from the French journalist, unless they think there will be a lobby from players on the national team to make that move. The defender’s move has never been the subject of significant rumors in the local media.
