Liverpool transfer round up: Key Ibrahima Konate development as Naby Keita nears exit


Liverpool’s season shows no signs of improving after the Reds were outplayed by Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final.

Jurgen Klopp’s men find themselves 3-1 down to Los Blancos to be put on the verge of crashing out of the competition, with their Premier League campaign also faltering.

An injury crisis in defence has showcased a real need for reinforcements at the back, but they have also had problems in front of goal.

Several signings have failed to pay off, with Naby Keita in particular struggling to make an impact in midfield, meaning new recruits will be vital if the Reds are to recover next season.

Ibrahima Konate was believed to be one of the Reds top targets as they searched for a quality defender to partner Virigil van Dijk.

But it appears the Reds have ruled themselves out of the running, with GermSportBILD reporting the Reds have told RB Leipzig chief Oliver Mintzlaff they don’t intend to pursue a deal for the 21-year-old.

The German news organisation claims that Mintzlaff approached the Reds after rumours that they were interested in Konate, but was told he is ‘currently not an issue’ for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
