Liverpool risk losing Ibrahima Konate on a free next summer after the defender reportedly rejected their initial contract extension offer.
Konate is said to be 'disappointed' with Liverpool's proposal because he wants a higher basic wage.
The France international, 26, was a bastion of their Premier League title triumph under Arne Slot but only has a year remaining on his deal.
There are fears that he could run down his contract and leave for free, as Trent Alexander-Arnold almost did before sporting director Richard Hughes squeezed a £10million fee out of Real Madrid.
