Liverpool have tabled an improved contract offer to a first-team star in the hope of fending off interest from Real Madrid, according to a report.
The Reds have been extremely busy this summer, splashing out over £290million on the likes of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez ahead of their Premier League title defence.
Anfield's chiefs have now reportedly turned their attention towards renewing Ibrahima Konate's contract, with the centre-back now having entered the final year of his five-year deal.
Konate, so far, has turned down Liverpool's contract extension offers - attracting the attention of Real Madrid who are in the market for a defender.
