Liverpool will doubtless have to turn to the transfer market this summer to improve the squad – though it’s typical that some big rumours crop up on the day the Reds’ financial results paint a bleak picture of the past year.
Konate release clause in doubt
Will we, won’t we? Should we? Can we?! Well, yes, everyone seems to agree we can, in as much as the Leipzig defender has a release clause in his contract – but there the similarities end.

Thomas Tuchel has revealed he is yet to speak to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich since he was appointed back in January.
The German was brought in at short notice to replace Frank Lampard who was dismissed by the club after 18 months in charge.
