Rio Ferdinand has identified the "dream scenario" for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's involving the club’s central defender Ibrahima Konate.
The French defender was the only arrival into the Reds' first-team ranks last summer after they triggered his release clause at RB Leipzig, thought to be £36million. Despite only featuring in eight Premier League games this campaign, Konate has played a much bigger role on the European stage for the Reds.
The 22-year-old has not featured as prominently in the Premier League due to Joel Matip being the preferred defensive partner of Virgil van Dijk in the heart of Klopp’s defence. However, Wednesday night’s Champions League semi-final against Villarreal was his sixth start in the competition.
