Liverpool confronts Konaté free‑transfer and Slot’s dismissal

Defender Ibrahima Konaté will depart Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of June, becoming a free agent after talks failed to produce a new deal. Reports suggest Paris Saint‑Germain could be his next club.

The club has also dismissed Dutch manager Arne Slot, with owners FSG opting not to renew his contract amid concerns over recent performance. Critics have called for accountability from chief executive Richard Hughes and director Michael Edwards over the decision and broader transfer strategy.
