Summary

Here is your first exclusive podcast after signing up to the Blood Red Club - and what a belter it is too! Guido Schäfer was the journalist who broke the story back on May 28th that highly-rated RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate was to become Liverpool's first signing of the summer. Guido's sources are impeccable - as is his knowledge of the game, Leipzig and Konate. A former team-mate of Jurgen Klopp's when the Liverpool manager was a player at FSV Mainz 05, Guido now covers the Red Bull-owned club for the Leipziger Volkszeitung newspaper in Germany. And in this exclusive podcast for Blood Red Club members, he gives an unrivalled insight into the deal that has brought Konate to Merseyside, what the France Under-21 international centre-back is like as a person and as a player, and what he will offer to Klopp's side. So good is Guido's insight, he recalls a conversation between Klopp and Red Bull supremo Ralf Rangnick that shows the Reds boss has been watching Konate for some time. Plus, he also explains a conversation he had with his ex-Mainz team-mate about Naby Keita, who made the move from Leipzig to Liverpool three years ago. But we won't say anymore... just sit back, relax and enjoy the first exclusive offering for Blood Red Club members. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
