Ibrahima Konate gave a telling response when asked whether Liverpool would sign Kylian Mbappe following his Paris Saint-Germain decision.

Mbappe will leave PSG at the end of the season once his current contract expires, having communicated his decision to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Mikel Arteta confirmed Arsenal's interest in Mbappe.

The Gunners have even been told to offer a controversial swap deal for the superstar forward.

Liverpool have also been linked with Mbappe over the years and after their 4-1 victory over Brentford on Saturday, Konate was asked about his fellow countryman's situation.

Asked if the 25-year-old would join the Premier League side, he replied: "In all honesty do you really think he’s going to come to Liverpool?

"We don't think about him, we all know where he's going to go," the defender added, laughing as he shared his thoughts.

Konate seems to be referencing Real Madrid, who are the frontrunners to acquire Mbappe's luxurious services this summer.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was also asked about Mbappe even though he's set to leave Anfield at the end of the season.

The German admitted that he would be 'surprised' if 'all the top clubs' were chasing the World Cup winner.

"Obviously, I’m not involved in that, but I can tell you I’d be surprised if all the top clubs were [in for him]," he explained. "The top clubs I know, for most of them it will be tricky - wages, signing-on fee."

Mbappe, who has been at PSG since 2017, seems set for a transfer to Real, who have kept tabs on him for some time now.

He's scored an impressive 243 goals in 290 appearances in all competitions for the Parisians. This season, he has a superb 31 goals to his name.
