Fabrizio Romano has spoken out on Ibrahima Konate amid Liverpool transfer talks. On Monday,
the Athletic reported that the
Reds are working to finalize a deal for Konate.
The centre-back, whose contract with the Bundesliga side expires in 2023, has made 15 appearances so far this season and has scored one goal.
"Liverpool are convinced that this player is one of the best centre-backs of the future. Some are saying that he could be better than Upamecano in the future," Romano told talkSPORT.
"Imagine how much potential this player [has]. So let's see what happens with injuries, with the medicals and everything if Liverpool go on to sign the player. But for sure the potential of the player apart from the injuries is something great it seems."
