Paris Saint-Germain is working to consolidate its defensive sector and would have made Ibrahima Konaté, the central defender of Liverpool and the French team, an absolute priority for the next summer transfer window. According to recent reports, PSG would do anything to lure the 25-year-old to the capital, including offering him a central role in the club's future project.
An ambitious offensive for a Reds executive
Under contract with Liverpool until 2026, Konaté is a key element of Jürgen Klopp's squad, forming a solid central hinge with Virgil Van Dijk. Despite this, Paris SG hopes to take advantage of a status quo in the negotiations between the player and his club to try to repatriate him to Ligue 1. The president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, has already taken the lead by preparing an offer tempting to convince the former RB Leipzig player.
The captain's armband at stake?
According to the English media Anfield WatchPSG would offer not only an indisputable starting role to Konaté, but also the possibility of becoming the future captain of the club, in the event of the departure of Marquinhos. This prospect could weigh heavily in the player's decision, especially since the defender is from Paris, a detail which plays in favor of the Parisian leaders.
-Liverpool ready to resist, but an opening possible
For their part, Liverpool do not intend to let their defender slip away without a fierce fight. However, Konaté's refusal to extend for the moment with the Reds could give PSG an opportunity to act. With this offensive, the capital club once again demonstrates its ambition to secure the services of the best French talents to continue to dominate the national and European scene.
