Official: Liverpool transfers super-protector from Bundesliga

Immediately after the end of the season, Liverpool formalises the first round of the wine merkatos, having introduced 22-year-old French defender Ibrahima Konate, who comes after a very good season to Leipzig Germans.

“The Reds” have carefully followed the progress of both the Konate and the other Leipzig defender, Dayot Upamecano, but Munich's Bayerni won the last card race.

In this situation, the English rushed the first to immediately close the transfer to the “Anfield Road” of French defender Konate, who also said his first words as Liverpool football player.

I'm really happy to be part of a club like Liverpool. It's a very exciting moment for me and my family, so I look forward to getting to know my teammates and staff and starting this new career chapter. I am currently focused on the U21 European Championship with France, but then I know I will join a ritual of the world's largest clubs and I am very happy”, Konate said.

As the Frenchman approached, Klopp completes a department that suffered not little this season, after being damaged by the leader of the rear, Virgil Van Dijk, but also other defence titles, causing the team to lose its usual stability.
