Ibrahima Konate‘s inclusion in the France squad comes as no surprise, given his impressive performances since joining Liverpool. Over the past two seasons, he has consistently displayed his defensive prowess and versatility, establishing himself as a reliable option in Jurgen Klopp’s backline.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar certainly provided a glimpse of Konate’s potential on the international stage. Whenever he was called upon to deputize for Raphael Varane, he showcased his composure and ability to handle high-pressure situations.

Konate for France

Now, with the Euro 2024 qualifiers on the horizon, he has an opportunity to solidify his place in the starting XI and further prove his worth to the French national team.

Konate’s journey with Liverpool has been a positive one thus far. Since his arrival, he has seamlessly integrated into Klopp’s system, forming a formidable partnership with fellow defenders, mostly Virgil van Dijk.

They will hope to see him excel and return to Merseyside with renewed confidence and determination to contribute to Liverpool’s success in the upcoming ‘Europa League’ season.

His selection is a testament to his hard work, talent, and dedication, and we can look forward to witnessing his growth and success in the years to come.

With Raphael Varane seemingly given a rest this time around, it could be exciting to see Konate in all likelihood, start for the Frenchmen, and hopefully get two wins out of two and strengthen their chances of qualifying for the actual event in Germany.
