Liverpool Sign Ibrahima Konate From RB Leipzig On Long-Term Deal! The young man leaves alongside teammate and compatriot Dayot Upamecano.

Liverpool has signed Ibrahima Konate from German side RB Leipzig. The Frenchman will look to add stability after injury deficiencies at the back this season for The Reds.

Konate spent 4 years at RB Leipzig, notching up 95 appearances and scoring four goals. The young man is currently at the u/21 European Championships with France.

“I’m really happy to be joining such a massive club like Liverpool.” Konate tells the club website.

“It’s a really exciting moment for me and my family and I am really looking forward to meeting my new teammates, the staff and getting started on this new chapter.

“Right now, my focus is on the U21 European Championships with France, but after this competition I know I will be joining one of the best teams in the world and that gives me a great feeling.

“I have worked very hard for many years to get to this point, but I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at RB Leipzig and all the people I worked with there – the coaches, my teammates, the staff and especially the fans.

“Your support helped me grow up during my time there and become not only a better player, but a better man and I will always be grateful for it.”

Jurgen Klopp is also relieved to add some numbers in the back. Liverpool had three of their only centre backs injured for the whole season.

“I’m really pleased we’ve been able to add a player of Ibrahima’s quality to our squad and he is someone I’ve admired for a long time, ever since I first became aware of his potential when he was at Sochaux,” Klopp said.
