Liverpool have already seen Trent Alexander-Arnold move to Real Madrid. Jarell Quansah has also sealed a move to Bayer Leverkusen.
Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott could be leaving the club, as the former wants to hold talks over his future. Darwin Nunez also looks likely to exit, with multiple clubs lurking for his signature.
In true Liverpool fashion, Arne Slot has already secured big-money moves for his top transfer targets, as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez are all arriving at Anfield soon.
Another player could be on the move, though, and he’s aiming to reunite with fellow defender Alexander-Arnold.

Konaté has one year left on his contract, but talks over a new contract have stalled. The Frenchman has reportedly turned down Liverpool’s extension, but he remains with the club for now.
Real Madrid are not desperate for a center-back right now, but Xabi Alonso and company could attempt to snag Konaté next summer as he becomes a free agent.
Konaté has been a strong force in the Liverpool defense, having joined the club in the 2021/22 Premier League season. Slot is also looking to sign Marc Guehi, which could force Konaté to the bench.
The defender is likely to stay with the Merseyside club this season, but he has made it clear that his priority is to join Real Madrid after his time is over at Liverpool.
