Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté has joked that Kylian Mbappé is calling him "every two hours" about a potential move to Real Madrid .

Konaté is out of contract at the end of the season and has been consistently linked to the LaLiga giants, though Liverpool are keen to keep him long-term.

While on international duty, Konaté was asked in an interview with Telefoot whether his France teammate Mbappé was putting pressure on him to move to Madrid.

"He's calling me every two hours," Konaté said.

Konaté did insist during the same chat, however, that he does not know any Spanish.

The 26-year-old has started all three Premier League games for Liverpool this season, with the champions picking up maximum points so far.
