Ibrahima Konaté denies any contact with Liverpool

Ibrahima Konaté insists there have been no talks between him and Liverpool.
RB Leipzig centre-back Ibrahima Konaté has played down speculation linking him with a summer switch to Liverpool.

"There are a lot of rumors in football, and many believe them immediately. But neither me nor my representatives have received a call from Liverpool", Konaté told Bild.

"In addition, I still have big goals with RB Leipzig. These include doing as well as possible in the Bundesliga, to reach the cup final and the European Under-21 Championship with France.

"I have a contract until 2023, and contracts are there to be fulfilled," underlined the centre-back.

The 21-year-old has played for Leipzig since 2017, making 91 appearances with four goals and an assist to his name.
