Konaté close to leaving Liverpool as a free agent

Liverpool’s start to the Premier League season has been far from consistent, and the situation is giving the manager plenty to think about.

Details: According to insider Nicolò Schira, Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konaté is edging closer to an exit. The French defender is not expected to renew his contract and is likely to leave the club in the summer as a free agent.

Earlier, we reported that Brighton’s 21-year-old right winger Yankuba Minteh has become a top target for Liverpool, who are reportedly prepared to offer £70 million for his signature.

Reminder: In the previous round, Liverpool suffered a 0–3 defeat to Manchester City. Goals from Haaland, Nico González, and Doku sealed a dominant victory for the Manchester side, bringing an end to Slot’s impressive unbeaten run.
