Liverpool are deeply concerned as star has had his head turned

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is set to deliver the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield. He wants the board to back his bold vision for a massive overhaul in the summer. However, he is also pushing to hold on to his best players in the next window.

Slot is pushing for a radical reconfiguration of the attack next season as he wants to lessen the burden on Mo Salah’s shoulders and have a few young forwards play around him.

The Liverpool manager also wants to bring in defensive reinforcements as he is keen to have long-term replacements for Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson in the squad while they are still at the club.

The Reds boss has made it clear to the board that he does not want to sell any of his key stars, but one of those players could end up moving in the summer.

Defender has had his head turned by interest from a Champions League club

Ibrahima Konate has been a rock in the Liverpool defence this season, but his contract situation is now getting concerning for the Reds.

He has a year left on his current deal, but Liverpool have been left shocked by the demands made by the defender’s representatives during talks over a new contract.

Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in him has further complicated matters for the club, and journalist David Lynch conceded that the Reds are concerned about the situation.

He admitted that Konate has had his head turned by the interest from his hometown club in PSG ahead of the summer.

“I was getting that a while ago, and things seem to have changed a little bit, which is interesting”, Lynch told Anfield Index.

“Maybe that PSG interest is turning his head, but it’s just another thing Liverpool are going to have to do this summer.

“A little bit of a concern, I would say, going into the summer, but there’s still time to sort it out, so we’ll see if there’s any movement on that.”

Liverpool are still hopeful of convincing the centre-back to sign a new long-term deal with the club in the coming months.
