Liverpool are reportedly preparing to offer Ibrahima Konate a five-year contract as they bid to bring the centre-back to Anfield during this summer's transfer window.
The 21-year-old's future remains the subject of intense speculation, with a number of clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, said to be interested in his services.
A recent report claimed that the release clause in the Frenchman's RB Leipzig contract is between €32.5m (£28.2m) and €34m (£29.5m) rather than €40m (£34.7m).
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League champions 'are still working to reach an agreement' with the defender.
Romano claims that Jurgen Klopp's side are preparing to place a five-year contract on the table in the hope of winning the race for his signature in the upcoming market.
Konate has scored once in 18 appearances for Leipzig during the 2020-21 campaign.
