Liverpool transfer news: Ibrahima Konate set to leave Anfield on a free transfer five years after move from RB Leipzig

Ibrahima Konate is set to leave Liverpool after five years at Anfield. The 27-year-old had been in talks with the club about extending his contract but could not find common ground when it came to signing a new deal and is now set to walk away for free. Konate has been linked with a number of sides across Europe since the turn of the year, but has yet to decide on his next move. Liverpool's big summer analysed | Liverpool news & transfers 🔴 The France international has made 183 appearances since his arrival from RB Leipzig, winning one Premier League title, one FA Cup and two Carabao Cups.

Liverpool's transfer plans - No 6 and defence Sky Sports News' Vinny O'Connor: In terms of solidifying things in midfield and defence, No 6 makes sense given they need another option to Ryan Gravenbech and that's an area where we expect Liverpool will at least look to address. Remember that Jeremy Jacquet will become a Liverpool player this summer from Rennes - just before he turns 21 - in a £60m deal. He is the second-most expensive defender to join Liverpool.

But Jacquet himself has missed the back end of the season with a shoulder injury. Liverpool also have Geovanni Leoni to come back from his ACL injury. Virgil van Dijk is still at Liverpool, as is Joe Gomez - who has just a year left on his contract. So there could be movement in that centre-back role.

Cover at left-back may be needed with Andy Robertson saying his goodbyes - although they also have Kostas Tsimikas returning from his loan spell. Inter still interested in Liverpool's Jones Latest from Sky Sports News' Vinny O'Connor and Sky in Italy: Inter Milan remain interested in signing Curtis Jones from Liverpool. The Italian club have been keen on the midfielder for some time - and he remains one of their targets this summer. His Liverpool future is unclear following a lack of regular starts under Arne Slot this season.

He made 16 starts in the Premier League and seven in a row at the end of the campaign - but 18 more appearances came from the bench.
