Liverpool could reunite Ibrahima Konate with PERFECT partner to REPLACE Virgil van Dijk

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing a former teammate of Ibrahima Konate.

The club are on a mission to bolster the Reds' option in defence, especially with the uncertainty surrounding the future of Virgil van Dijk.

It is still not yet known whether the Liverpool captain will sign a new long-term contract with the club upon the expiry of his current deal at the end of the season.

In preparation for the worst-case scenario, Liverpool have started to prepare for alternative solutions and exploring the market for players who could replace Van Dijk in the transfer market.
