Barcelona wants to buy Liverpool defender Konate

The Barcelona team has joined the race to add Liverpool's central defender Ibrahima Konate to their squad. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The 26-year-old player's current contract expires at the end of this season. For this reason, other clubs are closely monitoring the possibility of signing him as a free agent.

Among them, Barcelona has also contacted Konate's representatives to gather information about future cooperation terms. The player has expressed his readiness to move to the Catalan team.

However, the main candidate is considered to be Madrid's Real club. Real intends to purchase a central defender during the summer transfer window.

Thus, Barcelona and Real are the main competitors for Konate. The player's future is expected to become clearer in the coming days.

For now, negotiations between the club and the player are ongoing.
