Just like in the Alexander-Arnold case, Real Madrid has shown an interest in Konate, with suggestions that it could even push for a move this summer.

But in the meantime, this new deal is a reminder of Konate's growing status within the game.

Although competition is fierce within the French defense, Konate has amassed 23 caps.



Under Armor boasted that it has partnered with "one of the sport's best defenders".

As for Konate, he signaled his intentions to kick on again from here.

Slot will hope that development happens in a Liverpool jersey.

"I'm proud to be representing Under Armour, a brand with a history deeply rooted in performance and innovation, that shares the same drive, mentality and values as me," Konate said when the news was announced.

But in any case, any brand would certainly be lucky to have Konate as an ambassador.

It will portray Konate as a "feared defender taking pride in spoiling parties".
