Ibrahima Konate Export Will Be a Huge Blow
It is reported that Liverpool will lose him next summer and how the situation will develop remains to be seen. The 26-year-old is one of the best defenders in the Premier League and his departure will be a devastating blow to Liverpool, especially in a free transfer.
