3 potential landing spots for Ibrahima Konate following his Liverpool exit

Ibrahima Konate is set to leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer after negotiations for an extension failed. The 27-year-old will have full control over his next move and is expected to attract interest from major clubs despite a downturn in form this season.

Looking at it from a Paris Saint-Germain perspective, being able to add a France international for free to their already talent infused squad sounds like a no-brainer.
