- What J-Södra can offer gives me more than money at present, says Konate herself after the first training to Jönköpings-Posten.

Pa Konate has been without a contract since he left GIF Sundsvall last winter. And the corona pandemic has made it difficult for many non-contract players to find a new employer. During the spring, Konate has trained with Trelleborgs FF, but now chooses games in Jönköpings Södra, a team that needs strengthening because the team has several injuries and is in need of points in the Superettan.

Has won SM gold

In Pa Konate, the team gets a merited fullback. He has won Swedish Championship gold with Malmö FF, has played in the Italian club Spal, but also in the American club Cincinnati.

But Pa Konate is not completely free for the Jönköping club. A professional football player must receive compensation of at least SEK 10,000 according to the Swedish Football Association's regulations.
