A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting positively to journalist Fabrizio Romano’s claim that Ibrahima Konate will officially join the Reds this summer.
Jurgen Klopp looks almost certain to delve into the transfer market at the end of the season, having endured a 2020/21 campaign to forget.
Liverpool’s woes at centre-back mean it is a key area to focus on in the summer, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all missing significant chunks of action.

One player who has been linked with a move to Anfield more than most is Konate, who has matured into an exciting young defender at RB Leipzig, becoming a regular France Under-21 international.
The 21-year-old has been continually tipped to sign for Liverpool and Romano has now further increased the likelihood of him heading to Merseyside.
Responding to a message on Twitter on Wednesday evening, he showed where his opinion lies, stating quite simply: “He’s going to Liverpool.”
