Liverpool look set to sign defender Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig this summer.
The Reds have been linked with the French ace, 21, this campaign and now the club are ready to trigger his release with a £30.5million bid.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Anfield side have beaten several clubs to the centre-back with Chelsea also interested, despite not making an offer for the player.
Former Sochaux defender Konate has been watched by Liverpool manager for sometime and his signing is not unexpected given their injury woes this season.

Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip all suffered lengthy injuries and remain absent, which caused the Premier League champions to sign two defenders in January.
They landed Ben Davies from Preston in a £1.6million deal, while Ozan Kabak joined on loan with an £18million clause if they wish to pick him up permanently.
