Liverpool are ready to offload a first-team contract rebel in a dramatic summer development. With renewal talks hitting a wall and the player unwilling to commit, the Reds are now exploring a shock sale — a decision that could reshape Arne Slot’s tenure and send ripples through the transfer market.
The Merseyside giants are not willing to repeat their mistakes from last year, despite Arne Slot winning the Premier League in his first season at Anfield.
They have shown ambition and vision this summer with their pursuit of Florian Wirtz, but the club also want to be more ruthless and decisive in certain situations, which they weren’t last summer.
The loss of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid still haunts Liverpool, and the club do not want to repeat those same errors with another contract rebel this summer.

Liverpool prepared to offload contract rebel
Ibrahima Konate’s refusal to sign a new deal despite months of negotiations has become a major headache at Anfield.
He is in the final year of his contract, and Liverpool do not want to lose one more player on a free transfer next year, with Real Madrid keen to take advantage again.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are prepared to deliver an ultimatum to Konate and his representatives over the contract issue.
They are ready to sell the Frenchman this summer if he continues to refuse to sign a new contract with the club.
Liverpool would prefer to keep him, but are ready to act and move him on to secure funds for a top-class replacement.
The Merseyside giants do not want to commit the same errors they made during the Alexander-Arnold saga.
Konate will be asked to find a new club this summer if he doesn’t sign a new deal, as losing him on a free transfer next year would be a major financial hit for the club.
