And, if Liverpool want to be a part of any discussions for potential moves this summer, they’re going to have to look for players to sell, with one of Slot’s first-team squad already making his stance clear.

Ibrahima Konate is a player that most Liverpool fans will likely want to keep around for the foreseeable future.

However, now that he’s entered the final year of his contract at Anfield, interest in the Frenchman has stepped up massively, with Real Madrid leading the transfer charge.

However, as per a report from the Daily Mirror, Konate has ‘rebuffed’ the chance of making a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.

There’s no denying that Konate’s partnership with Virgil van Dijk is rather formidable.

Only time will tell whether Konate will stay on at Liverpool, but with the recent interest that Real Madrid have shown in him, it’ll certainly be a tough task for all those involved.
