Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has been linked with both Real Madrid and PSG for a few months. He is now inside the final 12 months of his contract at Anfield.

Alexander Isak has made his feelings clear on Liverpool amid reports that the Reds have opened discussions with Newcastle over a transfer.

Liverpool played a match for the first time since last season on Sunday, although football was far from most people’s minds. The focus of the squad, staff and supporters at Preston North End was on remembering Diogo Jota and his brother Andre, just as it had been all week at the Kirkby training base.

The Palace man is technically sound and creative besides. Moreover, he would emulate Van Dijk in arriving from a divisional rival lower down the ladder, with the Netherlands captain joining Klopp's cause from Southampton way back in January 2018 for a £75m fee - a world record for a defender at the time.

In an emotional post shared on Instagram, the captain honored Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash early Thursday in Spain.

Change is in the air at Liverpool, and nothing perhaps demonstrates that better than Jarell Quansah’s departure. This time last year, it would have been simply unthinkable that the young defender would be leaving the club in the near future.

Liverpool paid a heartfelt tribute to Diogo Jota after the Preston win, leaving Andy Robertson in tears and commentators visibly emotional.
