The young Frenchman Ibrahima Konate from Leipzig to Liverpool (official)

It was expected, it's official. The young (22) French defender Ibrahima Konate is leaving Leizpig for Liverpool. "Agreed agreement", announce the Reds, in French in the text. "Long-term" contract to follow for the former Paris FC and Sochaux, who still has to meet the traditional medical examinations and obtain the work permit before officially joining the club domiciled at Anfield. We are talking about a lease until 2026 and a transfer to 35 M €, the amount of his release clause in Germany. Ibrahima Konate defended the colors of the Red Bulls since 2017. He is currently hard at work with the Bleuets before the second part of Euro U21 (May 31-June 6). Remember that RB Leipzig will lose another young French defender, Dayot Upamecano, who will for his part be transferred to Bayern Munich (€ 42.5 million).

Agreed Agreement ✅

We are delighted to have reached an agreement for the transfer of @IbrahimaKonate_ from @DieRotenBullen
