Ibou Konate was subject to a public snub by RB Leipzig and has now made several public attempts to ensure that they know he’s not happy with their treatment of him, albeit in a playful manner.
It all stems from Dominik Szoboszlai being awarded a red bull on his return to the Red Bull Arena in Germany, as a thank you for his services to their club.
As a fellow former player, our No.5 was clearly a bit offended that he wasn’t given the say welcome back and so took to their Instagram page to vent his feelings.
A video then circled of the Frenchman throwing his shirts to the supporters, something he shared on his social media account with the message: ‘@rbleipzig forgot me, but I don’t forget them It’s all love ’.
It shows how the 25-year-old is ensuring this remains in good humour but has since shared another update on this saga.
Sharing a message from Chris Morgan, head of performance physical therapies, he and Paul Small, masseur, posed alongside a giant red bull and said to our defender: ‘We’d never forget you mate’.
It’s great to see the unity between the whole club as they share a joke and ensure that our centre back feels very much loved at Anfield.

Ibou Konate had the last laugh with a victory against his former club
With a string of impressive performances for Arne Slot’s side, it’s safe to say none of this has distracted our man from his on-field duties.
We all know how much of a character he is and long may he continue to entertain us on and off the field.
