Urgent! Liverpool close to new deal with defender

Liverpool have endured a far from convincing season, but one positive development is that one of their defenders is ready to extend his contract.

Details: The player in question is Ibrahima Konaté, who personally confirmed that he is prepared to sign a new deal with the Merseyside club.

Quote: “We have spoken with the club and we are close to an agreement. I think everyone has wanted this for a long time, but we are on the right path… we are moving toward it,” said Konaté.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah reached a historic milestone in what could be his final Merseyside derby, drawing level with club legend Steven Gerrard for goals scored.
