Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly both interested in signing RB Leipzig centre-back Ibrahima Konate during this summer's transfer window.
The Premier League duo have recently been tipped to go head to head for the signature of Dayot Upamecano ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
However, according to Bild, the English pair are also both interested in Upamecano's Leipzig teammate Konate, who has a release clause of €40m (£35m) in his current deal.
Journalist Christian Falk has also claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on the situation, with the London club thought to be keen to improve their defence this summer.
Konate has only made six Bundesliga appearances during the current season, having struggled with injury.
The 21-year-old played in all six of Leipzig's Champions League group-stage matches, though, helping the German side qualify for the last-16 stage of the competition at United's expense.
