Ibrahima Konate has laughed off suggestions that Kylian Mbappe could join Liverpool in the summer.
Mbappe is almost definitely set to leave PSG once and for all, seven years after joining as a teenager from fellow Ligue 1 side Monaco.
The forward will once and for all turn his back on the division for the first time in his career, and he seems almost certain to finally join Real Madrid in Spain on what will ultimately be a free transfer.
There have been murmurs of Liverpool joining the race for the 25-year-old, with the Reds known to be long-term admirers of the player having tried to sign him from Monaco in 2017.
While those suggestions seem to have been dismissed by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, Ibrahima Konate has joined his manager in dismissing any chance of his international team-mate joining him at Anfield.
'In all honesty, do you really think he’s going to come to Liverpool?' Konate asked after Liverpool beat Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. 'We don't think about him, we all know where he's going to go.'
There has been much debate over the future of Mbappe, with PSG officials calling for him not to leave on a free transfer this summer having arrived for £130.5million.
The summer of 2024 however seems set to be the year that he will complete the move, with the player, according to The Mirror, demanding £60m-a-year in wages and a £107m signing-on fee.
Klopp had suggested Liverpool's owners could 'surprise' him by signing Mbappe, but appeared to concede that his side are out of the race prior to the game against Brentford.
'Obviously, I'm not involved in that, but I can tell you I'd be surprised if all the top clubs were,' Klopp said on Friday. 'The top clubs I know, for most of them it will be tricky. Wages, signing-on fee.'
In August, he said: 'I can say that I think he's a really good player but the financial conditions don't suit us at all, he told Sky Germany in August. 'I wouldn't like to ruin the story now, but as far as I know, there's nothing to it.
'It's possible that someone else from the club is preparing something and wants to surprise me. That hasn't happened in the eight years that I've been here. That would be the first time.'
