Klopp wants to sign defender for 40 million and Konate's new job

While the stars of The Pool shine on the paradisiacal beaches of the world, the board and Jürgen Klopp are planning for next season, because after losing the ticket to the Champions League, the club will no longer receive a significant financial sum that will give a major blow to the payroll.

It has been revealed that the German coach is interested in 24-year-old Edmond Tapsoba. According to ESPN, the Burkina Faso international has a price tag of around 40 million euros, and is the jewel in Xabi Alonso's crown as a multi-functional player who can play at centre-back as well as left-back.

While Klopp is asking for more transfer money, Ibrahima Konaté is enjoying his holiday on one of the world's most luxurious golf courses. As reported by This is Anfield, the French defender is relaxing ahead of his return to Klopp's side, who have declared that there will be strong signings in the summer.

The new passion of a relaxed Konate who leaves his future up in the air

Konaté, who arrived in 2021 from RB Leipzig, played 18 times in the Premiership this season and only made one start. The Frenchman was not at his best as he suffered a thigh muscle strain that kept him out of the key moment of the season, with Klopp improvising in the area.
