Liverpool defender Konate: Mbappe always calling me about Real Madrid

Inside the final year of his Reds deal, Konate is said to be a pre-contract target for Real Madrid.

Currently away with France, Konate says Kylian Mbappe is always calling about joining him at Real Madrid.

At his France media conference, the defender laughed: "He (Mbappe) calls me every two hours!"

However, Konate quickly moved on from the topic, knowing the situation has left many at Liverpool frustrated.
