And it seems Anfield chiefs are eager to keep him there, as The Athletic reports Liverpool coaches are eager to avoid having to play him at the back next year.
It’s been claimed that Liverpool will keep Ben Davies, Williams and Phillips around next season despite being behind the likes of Van Dijk, Gomez and Matip in the pecking order.
The arrival of Konate means the Reds should have sufficient options at the back, should they suffer a repeat of their devastating injury nightmare from last season.
At just 22, Konate is seen as one for the future as well as being an immediate first-team star.
