    WHAT HAPPENED?

    The defender returned from suspension to help his side to a comfortable win at Brentford on Saturday afternoon. He was in a playful mood after the game when asked by a French broadcaster on the prospects of Mbappe, who this week told Paris Saint-Germain he will depart the club his summer, joining him on Merseyside next season.

  • WHAT IBRAHIMA KONATE SAID

    "Do you really think he's going to come here?" laughed Konate when asked by Canal+about the chances of Mbappe joining Liverpool. "I think we all know where he's going to go."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Konate's response underlines the theory that Mbappe is destined for Real Madrid. Representatives of the 25-year-old are reportedly in negotiations to finalise a deal that has been a long time in the making, with the Madrid board keen to conclude the transfer with as little fuss as possible and also keen not to upset a club they may yet meet in the Champions League this season.
