Video: Ibrahima Konate spotted hugging £55million Liverpool target - He's the perfect Mane replacement

Ibrahima Konate was spotted hugging RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku.

The Reds have been linked with a move to bring the Frenchman to Anfield this summer and perhaps Konate can do some agent work for the Reds.

The Liverpool defender was called up to the French national team to replace the injured Raphael Varane.

It's a fully deserved call up and one that many fans feel should have come earlier but the important thing is that Konate now has the opportunity to train his way into the starting XI.

When he arrived at France's training camp, Konate said hello, hugging most of his teammates in a video shared to Twitter by Les Bleus (below).

RB Leipzig value Nkunku at £55million and want to insert a release clause into his contract.
