Supporters are already bracing themselves for change.Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah have already confirmed they will be departing the club.And now Paul Joyce of the Times has revealed that all of Alisson, Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, and Konate could depart.“The futures of a number of players — Alisson, Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister and Ibrahima Konate to name a few — remain uncertain before the need to strengthen a squad that has been found wanting is taken into consideration.”Sky Sports have already reported that Juventus is making Alisson their “top target” for the summer window.Perhaps even more alarmingly, we have heard precious little that Ibrahima Konate is any closer to signing a new contract after his optimistic words following the recent Merseyside derby win.Konate said:“To be fair, there are many things people have said, but for a long time we have spoken with the club and we are [now] close to an agreement,” Konate explained.

“I think everyone wished for that for as long as possible but we are in a good way.”“For sure there is a big chance I’m here next season. This is what I always wanted.

I’m waiting to sort the contract but when everything is sorted you will have to ask (sporting director) Richard Hughes what I said to him in September, November and he’s going to say something to make everyone quiet.”Joyce added that Slot is reviewing his background staff for next season, with Feynoord’s Etienne Reijen attracting particular attention:“Slot has been reviewing his backroom staff in the event of him staying, with Etienne Reijnen a potential addition to the coaching group.
