Liverpool Standout Reveals Potential Career-Altering Story Involving PSG

In the middle of 2024, Paris Saint-Germain was linked to Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté. However, no move transpired over the summer, but there was a moment in which the player hoped that the Parisians showed interest in him.

The Parisians have implemented a new transfer policy this past summer. The capital club wants top French talent, especially those from the Greater Paris Area. As a result, it wasn’t a surprise that Konaté was on the Ligue 1 side’s radar.

However, the Liverpool standout noted that his decision to leave his hometown club and continue his footballing journey could’ve been altered by one club.

Ibrahima Konaté reveals PSG could’ve made him reconsider leaving Paris

In an interview with So Foot, Konaté revealed that PSG could have convinced him to rethink his decision to join FC Sochaux.

“My brothers wanted to distance me from something by making me leave Paris very early? I don’t think the main intention was to distance me from Paris because if PSG had been interested in me, we would probably have considered that option,” Konaté said (h/t Le10Sport).

“The first thing was to find an environment where the school was healthy and where they really cared about education. Sochaux showed a real interest in me at that time, and my mother immediately had a strong affection for it.”

The 25-year-old eventually left Sochaux in 2017 to join RB Leipzig, where he flourished as a player. This led to his move to Liverpool in 2021.
