That will only change if reaching an agreement on that front becomes impossible."
"Despite some questionable performances this season, Konate remains a regular starter under Arne Slot, having started all 16 Premier League games so far, as well as all six in the Champions League. Regardless of what happens, Liverpool are expected to move for another centre-back - Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi and Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck have been mentioned as potential targets, but the idea is to bring another man to compete with Konate, rather than replace him."
