Following Liverpool's victory (1-4) at Brentford in the Premier League, this Saturday, February 17, during which Mohamed Salah scored for his return after his CAN injury, Reds defender Ibrahima Konaté was asked on Canal + about the departure of Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.

After being questioned about his individual performance, Konaté was asked to speak about the future of the native of Bondy.
While the journalist asks him if he is not working behind the scenes to attract Mbappé to Liverpool, the defender of the France team becomes hilarious.
"In all honesty, do you really think he's going to come here?"
I think we all know where he’s going to go… So no, we don’t even think about him in this team and I haven’t even thought about bringing him back,” Konaté replies about the Blues striker.
"Do you really think he's going to come here? I think we all know where he's going to go" 🤣

The day before, Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp was also asked his question about the French world champion, this time from Sky Germany.
“I wouldn't like to spoil the story right now... But as far as I know, there is nothing,” replied the German technician, who will leave the Reds at the end of the season.
During the week, Aurélien Tchouaméni had already responded to the subject of the probable arrival of his teammate in the national team at Real Madrid.
“We talk about it in the locker room,” the former Monegasque astutely commented.
For his part, his coach Carlo Ancelotti preferred to dodge the subject at a press conference.
