Ibrahima Konate sends Kylian Mbappe message as Liverpool man tipped to replace striker

Konate sends his message to Kylian Mbappe

Ibrahima Konate has sent a message to Kylian Mbappe after the Liverpool defender was tipped to replace the Paris Saint-Germain star at Real Madrid.

Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move to the Bernabeu, and Konate is seen as a potential replacement for the France international.

The 23-year-old has impressed for Liverpool since joining from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2021, and he is now considered one of the best young defenders in the world.

Konate's message to Mbappe

In a message to Mbappe on social media, Konate said: "I'm a big fan of Kylian Mbappe, he's a great player.

"If he wants to come to Liverpool, he's welcome. We're a great club with a great team, and we're always looking to improve."

It remains to be seen whether Mbappe will make the move to Real Madrid, but Konate's message suggests that he would be welcomed at Liverpool with open arms.

Konate's form for Liverpool

Konate has been in impressive form for Liverpool this season, and he has helped the club to keep clean sheets in their last three Premier League games.

The Frenchman has also scored two goals in his last three games, and he is now seen as one of the most important players in Jurgen Klopp's team.

If Mbappe does make the move to Real Madrid, Konate would be a ready-made replacement for the France international.

The 23-year-old is still young, but he has already shown that he has the quality to play at the highest level.

He is a strong, physical defender who is also comfortable on the ball.

Konate would be a valuable addition to any team, and he would be a great replacement for Mbappe at Real Madrid.
