RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann has rejected rumours linking Ibrahima Konate with a move to Liverpool this summer.

The 21-year-old centre-back is close to entering the final year of his contract at the German side, who are likely to be reluctant to lose the Frenchman.

When asked over the weekend about the speculation, Nagelsmann refused to be drawn on the rumours.

He told Kicker: “(The reports are) perceived like all other rumours. Not that important to me.

"I haven't talked to him about it yet."
