Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool?! Laughing Ibrahima Konate gives priceless response to reporter after he's asked PSG transfer question

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, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-bombshell-psg-superstar-tells-parisians-he-will-leave-club-this-summer-amid-real-madrid-links/bltd128a36e015578c7" target="_blank">who this week told Paris Saint-Germain he will depart the club his summer</a>, joining him on Merseyside next season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Do you really think he's going to come here?" laughed Konate when asked by <a href="https://twitter.com/CanalplusFoot/status/1758866017650913351" target="_blank">Canal+</a> about the chances of Mbappe joining Liverpool. "I think we all know where he's going to go."

WHAT IBRAHIMA KONATE SAID

Konate's response underlines the theory that Mbappe is destined for Real Madrid. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/when-real-madrid-announce-kylian-mbappe-transfer-date-psg-exit/blt7b673b0895ea1cb4#cs828aa07dc94887a2" target="_blank">Representatives of the 25-year-old are reportedly in negotiations to finalise a deal t</a>hat 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.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It was a good result for Liverpool, winning at a ground that has proved problematic for them in the last two seasons. But it wasn't all plain sailing as the Reds<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/injury-disaster-liverpool-diogo-jota-knee-issue-curtis-jones-brentford-mohamed-salah-return/blt437ba0b65a27a61f" target="_blank"> picked up a number of concerning injuries</a> as they head into a week where they face Luton Town in the league on Wednesday and contest the first silverware of the season against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final next Sunday.
