However, after the win against Everton, Konate confirmed that he was “close” to signing a new Liverpool deal, insisting he has always wanted to remain at Anfield.The 26-year-old French defender was then expected to commit to a long-term extension that would keep him on Merseyside through the peak years of his career.

But indeed, as you say, you knew what the answer was going to be."Alisson is one of four players who could leave Liverpool this summer(Image: Michael Regan/Getty Images)Slot was also asked about the future of Alisson, who has not featured for the Reds since the Champions League game against Galatasaray at Anfield.

Reports suggest Juventus has intensified its interest in the Liverpool goalkeeper, despite him only signing a contract extension in March.The former Roma shot-stopper will enter the final year of his deal this summer and remains widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s top goalkeepers.However, speculation over a potential move to Turin has gathered pace, with reports claiming Juventus and the player are now “advancing in talks” over a summer transfer, while Liverpool is already exploring possible replacements.Addressing the rumors, Slot offered a cryptic response saying: "I'm reading the same things as you are probably reading, but that's not what I would talk about over here." There is also an understanding that if Alisson was to leave, the fans would want to give him a proper send-off."I think our fans need to support Alisson, no matter if it's his last game or his first game and that's what they've always done with all of our players."So, if he's in goal tomorrow, our fans will support him and if he's in goal next week, they will support him and the same goes for next season."Should both Alisson and Konate leave in the summer, that would make four high-profile departures before the transfer window even opens. Mohamed Salah has just two matches remaining before bringing the curtain down on his Anfield career after nine years on Merseyside, marking the end of a long and significant spell at the club.Andy Robertson is also set to leave Anfield when his contract expires at the end of the season, bringing an end to another nine-year spell on Merseyside that has been largely successful.
