Report – Inter Milan Plotting Audacious Summer Swoop For Liverpool & France Defender With Expiring Contract | OneFootball

Inter Milan could reportedly make a concrete offer for outgoing Liverpool center-back Ibrahima Konate next summer.

According to Quotidiano Sportivo via FCInter1908, the Italian giants are keeping close tabs on the Frenchman’s situation at Anfield.

Konate has entered the final six months of his contract on Merseyside.

With Liverpool unable to extend his deal, the 26-year-old could leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri will be ready to pounce, as they must reinforce their aging defense.

Inter’s backline will undergo a comprehensive overhaul in the summer.

Indeed, several long-serving stalwarts, including Matteo Darmian, Francesco Acerbi, and Stefan de Vrij, are expected to leave.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu’s men are already scanning the market for opportunities.

Furthermore, his €2.5 million annual wages are well within Inter’s reach.
