Ibrahima Konate has opened up on his big-money transfer to Liverpool and revealed that he asked Jurgen Klopp to put himself in his shoes before deciding to move to Merseyside.

The French defender was said to have been courted by a number of other top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United, before joining the Reds in a £36million deal from RB Leipzig in July last summer.

And now the 22-year-old has explained how Kop boss Klopp convinced him that he would be making the right decision by coming to Anfield, a choice he confirms he is very happy with.

Speaking in a interview with the Sunday Times, Konaté revealed: “I said, ‘okay, if I was your son and your son was in my position, what would you tell him to do?'

“Klopp said, ‘okay, this club is good and that club is good, but for sure I would tell him to go to Liverpool’. As he was saying this I watched nothing else but his eyes. To see if he was sincere.

“And I saw sincerity on his face. I said, ‘this decision will be good for me’. And after, when you think about the other players at Liverpool . . . which players don’t want to come here?”
