Liverpool star 'tempted' by move to European giants this summer in huge blow for Arne Slot

Liverpool could be dealt a huge blow this summer as one of the key members of Arne Slot's side is reportedly 'interested' in a move to a European powerhouse.

The Anfield side are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League with a seven point gap to second placed Arsenal as things stand in Slot's first season in charge of the Merseyside outfit.

Liverpool take on Wolves at Anfield tomorrow afternoon as they seek to take another step towards their 20th English top flight title.

Slot took over from the departed Jurgen Klopp last summer and has led the club to the last 16 of the Champions League as well as the Carabao Cup final.

Despite it being a successful season, there are doubts surrounding three of Liverpool's key players who are all out of contract at the club this summer.

Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold's deal expires at the end of June and has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid, with 21 goals in 342 matches for the Anfield club so far.

Defender Virgil van Dijk's deal also runs out just a few months from now, having been at the club since January 2018 following a £75m move from Southampton, and has scored 26 goals in 303 matches since then.

And talisman Mo Salah has been strongly linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, despite a remarkable campaign which has seen him score 27 goals in 35 games.

But now, reports have emerged suggesting another member of Slot's squad could be on the move this summer.

According to ESPN, French side Paris Saint Germain have targeted the signing of defender Ibrahima Konate with the player himself said to be 'interested' in a move to the Parc des Princes.

PSG are seeking a partner for Brazilian defender Marquinhos in the heart of the rearguard and Konate himself was born and bred in the French capital, and such a move would see him move back to his hometown.

Konate joined Liverpool in the summer of 2021 from German side RB Leipzig for a reported £36m transfer fee and his contract at the Merseyside outfit currently runs until the summer of 2026, though the player has been offered a fresh contract but is yet to commit to the new terms.

The 25-year-old has gone on to score five goals in 116 games for the Anfield side across all competitions, including 26 appearances and two strikes so far this campaign.

Konate has won the FA Cup and two League Cups during his time at Liverpool, while he has also picked up 21 caps for France.
