Barcelona was deeply linked to the move to former Liverpool star Luis Diaz, but the Colombian winger ultimately decided to join Bayern Munich this summer.
La Liga Champions is currently involved in discussions with another Liverpool star who is facing an uncertain future at the club.
Centre back Ibrahi Maconate enters the final year of his contract with the club and the long-term future at Anfield is yet to be resolved.
According to a report by Semper Barca, Barcelona took advantage of the situation to discuss it with French advocates.
Barcelona wants a new central defender
The centre-back is embracing the idea of joining the Spanish giants. This is the position that Barca is trying to strengthen after Inigo Martinez left Al Nasr this summer.
Despite being involved in discussions with Barca, the defender is currently determined to stay in Liverpool as he wants to see if the Premier League champions will offer him a new contract and how important he is to their project under the ARNE slot.
Merseyside Club will begin their Premier League title defense tomorrow, with Conate continuing as an important part of the starting line.
La Liga Giants is involved in discussions with the Liverpool Star
Barca’s sports director Deco is understood to maintain an open line of communication with Konate representatives, ensuring that the Catalan club maintains the development of his situation.
While French internationals are seen as a major target for strengthening defensive options and financial spending is important, the La Liga giant is ready to explore every possible path to bringing a transfer if opportunities arise.
Reports suggest that Liverpool gave Conate a rating of around £44 million if the club wanted to acquire him from Anfield during the summer window.
