Ibrahima Konate has just a year remaining on his Liverpool deal

Liverpool returned to training this week with a number of new faces taking part alongside the usual stars. Mohamed Salah was pictured arriving at the club’s training ground on Tuesday alongside Andy Robertson.

Summer signing Jeremie Frimpong was also among those to have reported for duty for the first time as a Red. He expected to be joined by fellow new signings Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.

Goalkeeper Giorgio Mamardashvilli is also expected to be among those arriving at Liverpool’s training ground following a season on loan with former side Valencia. But they might not be the only ones.

Liverpool are still keen to bolster their squad even further before the transfer window comes to an end. A striker and centre-back could both potentially sign.

And some exits could also be on the agenda for the Reds, with Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate among those who could depart. Get up to date with all of the latest transfer news and rumours from Liverpool:
