Ibrahima Konate has opened up about the changes between last season and this one, with Liverpool looking more defensively secure under Arne Slot's style of play.

Real Madrid continue to pursue a deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract at Liverpool is set to expire at the end of the current season. The Reds have offered their vice-captain a new deal but he's yet to commit his future to the club.

While the focus has been on the contracts of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool are also at risk of losing Virgil van Dijk. The Liverpool captain, like the club's star forward and vice-captain is free to talk to other clubs about his future and if an agreement isn't reached by June 1 then he too could become a free agent.

Real Madrid are set to make a new bid to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold this month, with the player already agreeing to join from Liverpool.
