IBRAHIMA KONATE confessed "If I said no, I'd be lying" when asked about a shock transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Liverpool defender opened up about his thoughts for a move to the French capital.
Konate revealed after the Red's 1-1 draw against Luton on Sunday that he has envisioned himself wearing the Parisian outfit.
The 24-year-old who joined the Merseyside club in 2021 has played a starring role in Jurgen Klopp's squad this term.
Having made 11 appearances in the campaign so far the Frenchman added that a move to PSG is not a top priority right now.
When asked about joining PSG Konate told French outlet Canal Plus: "If I said no, I’d be lying, but if you’re asking, is it one of my objectives? Not at all."

"Even for the people and the Parisian fans, it makes them happy.
"It’s what they’ve been waiting for for years, having Parisian players or at least French players in the team."
