Starting off with Sochaux, Konaté moved to Leipzig in 2017 and Liverpool in 2021.
Konaté grew up in the 11th arrondissement of Paris and played as a teen for Paris FC youth teams.
When he was 14, he left for Sochaux and joined their boarding academy at the age of 15.
He started his career as a striker before moving to the defence.
Konaté made his professional debut for Sochaux in a 1-0 Ligue 2 loss to Auxerre on 7 February 2017, at the age of 17.
After a successful debut season, with 12 games and 1 goal in half a season, Konaté joined RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on 12 June 2017 on a five-year contract by free transfer.
Konaté scored his first Leipzig goal in a 4-0 win against Fortuna Düsseldorf.
On 28 May 2021, Liverpool announced that they had reached an agreement with RB Leipzig to acquire Konaté on 1 July, pending international clearance and a work permit being granted.
The club had already agreed personal terms with the player in April, and triggered his release clause of approximately £36 million in May 2021.
On 18 September, Konaté made his Premier League debut, starting alongside Virgil Van Dijk, and kept a clean sheet in a 3-0 victory against Crystal Palace.
He made his second start of the season partnering Virgil van Dijk in the first North-West Derby of the season, in which Liverpool beat Manchester United 5-0.
It was the heaviest defeat inflicted on United by Liverpool since 1895 and the heaviest defeat United had suffered without scoring in since 1955.
Konate won plaudits from fans for how he handled star players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes and also featured in Garth Crooks' team of the week, with Crooks saying, "No frills or skills but he does use his power and strength to maximum effect. This wasn't Chelsea versus Norwich but Manchester United against Liverpool and Mason Greenwood, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford hardly had a kick."
Konaté has been compared to Virgil van Dijk due to his positional play, tackling, pace and strength.
Guido Schafer said that: "He is tall, fast, good technique and he is a little bit of Virgil van Dijk...He has very high-class potential. He is a great athlete, he has good speed and there are no silly tackles - he is an intelligent player." Konaté is also well known for his passing and strength in the air.
