Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate revealed that he used to dream of being a player for Paris Saint-Germain.
When questioned by the French website Canal+, the 24-year-old defender stated that he would be lying if he said he didn’t want to play for PSG in the future. However, the Liverpool defender has admitted that it is not one of his current objectives.
“If I told you no, I would be lying, but is that one of my goals?” he inquired. Not in any way.
Konate is one of the best center defenders in the Premier League and has been a vital player of the club since joining Liverpool. He has also played a significant role for the French national team.
Given that he has all the makings of a world-class defender, Liverpool will want to hold onto him for as long as possible. His criticism of Paris Saint-Germain is sure to frighten the fans, and some of them are not happy about what he said, according to SportBible.
It will be interesting to see if the defender chooses to sign with PSG in the future years. Since he is still in the early phases of his prime, more development is most likely ahead. Liverpool have to put in every effort if they want to keep him around for the long term.
Virgil Van Dijk, a good player for Liverpool, is already in his 30s, thus Konate is likely to start at center defense going forward. The 24-year-old has proven to be a priceless asset for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp, and his departure would be disastrous.
