Ibrahima Konate admits it is "logical" that links would be drawn with PSG but he has no plans to leave Liverpool.
The French centre-half was dislodged as first choice towards the end of last season with youngster Jarell Quansah coming in
Konate was signed in 2021, but a reduction in his minutes has fuelled talk of a move away.
Given his Paris associations a switch to the Parc des Princes has been touted, but Konate himself is more than happy at Anfield
Konate
“I'm happy at Liverpool so my head is there. I don't even think about it. I am focused on the pitch and the Euros this summer.
“It's a bit logical because I was born in France and in Paris. I have six older brothers and they all support PSG.
“We watched a lot of matches together and I went to the stadium a lot when I was younger.
"There is a little story with PSG but I made my own. I played at Sochaux, then Leipzig before Liverpool. I am happy there and I am not paying too much attention."
Van Dijk is expected to remain one of the team's leading lights with the man partnering him subject to debate.
Konate, despite his dismissal of a switch to PSG, just months ago admitted that playing for them has been on his mind
Konate responded: "If I said no, I'd be lying, but if you're asking, is it one of my objectives. Not at all."
The Frenchman added:
"PSG has made sure to recruit players who understand each other well and who play with each other for the France national team.
"Even for the people and the Parisian fans, it makes them happy. It’s what they’ve been waiting for for years, having Parisian players or at least French players in the team."
