Ibrahima Konate has reportedly undertaken a number of medical checks ahead of finalising a switch to Liverpool.
Sportsmail reported on Monday that the Reds are looking to wrap up a £33million deal for the talented RB Leipzig defender.
The Bundesliga side pushed back on talk that a deal was done but a report by RMC Sport revealed that the defender has taken a step closer to Anfield following some medical examinations.
Jurgen Klopp has been dealing with a crisis at the back all season, with injuries to both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.
