Ibrahima Konateas Leipzig is willing to consider the offers.

Evening Standard,
Arsenaland
Manchester Unitedare the two clubs that are willing to pay the money for the defender. Manchester United without a doubt needs a top-class defender as Arsenal also lacks a star in their defense as Mustafi and Papastathopoulos left the club and Luiz will be out of contract on June 30.
Arteta recently stated that Arsenal’s recruitment plans could be affected if they miss out on European competition.
“We are planning what's going to happen in the summer,”
he said.
“It will depend on where we finish, how we finish.
“I think what we have to do in the summer is unprecedented for a club of this stature. To do the amount of transactions that we have to make, it tells you as well where we are. I think it was very much needed and you want to improve, you want to do that.
“It's where you have things in the house and you believe that you can improve on it. Externally acquiring players to go to the next level.
“Everything is planned and let's see what the market can bring and what the last few months can bring to the club.”
