The Reds have been associated with the RB Leipzig center-half for some time and have now pushed through a big deal.
Ibrahima Konate is happy to join
Liverpool launched an exemption clause in Ibrahima Konate’s contract at RB Leipzig, with a five-year contract negotiated with the French defender. The 22-year-old had been strongly associated with the Reds for some time, and a big-money move to England was now pushed through. A long-term deal has been agreed with the top-rated defender and he is poised to open a new chapter in his Anfield career. After completing the move to England, the Reds’ official website, Ibrahima Konate said he was really happy to join a massive club like Liverpool. This is a truly exciting moment for Ibrahima and his family, and Konate is really looking forward to meeting the new teammates, staff and getting started on this new chapter.
Ibrahima is currently focusing on the U21 European Championship with France, but after this competition he knows that he will join one of the best teams in the world and it gives him a great feeling. Konate also said that he worked for so many years to get to this point, but would like to say a big thank you to everyone at RB Leipzig and to all the people he worked with there, the coaches, his teammates, staff and especially the fans. According to Ibrahima, their support has helped him grow and become not only a better player, but also a better person, and will always be grateful for that.
Transaction value
The Ibrahima Konate exemption clause in Leipzig was worth more than £ 35 million, with Liverpool investing heavily in securing its services. All relevant documents are now available and signatures have been added where necessary. The medical examination is also complete, and in the early summer, Jurgen Klopp cut off the main target.
