Manchester United “makes RB Leipzig’s Ibrahima Konate their number one summer goal in defense” as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prioritizes signing a center-back – but they will face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea for him
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign a central defender this summer
- RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano had been an important target due to its £ 38 million clause
- However, United have turned to teammate Ibrahima Konate
- The 21-year-old is now the # 1 target, but Liverpool and Chelsea are also delighted
Manchester United have reportedly identified RB Leipzig’s Ibrahima Konate as the main target for the summer’s center-back.
United had previously considered Konate center-back Dayot Upamecano to be the most suitable, but now he has turned his attention to the 21-year-old, who has performed equally well in Germany.
Upamecano, available for just £ 38million this summer due to a clause in his contract, has been closely associated with United but Bayern Munich are said to lead the hunt for his signature while Liverpool and Chelsea are hoping to sign it too.
