Liverpool will not sell Ibrahima Konate in the final weeks of the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
The Premier League champions are in talks with Crystal Palace over signing England international central defender Marc Guehi in a £35 million deal.
Liverpool are also trying to sign Giovanni Leoni from Parma.
Despite potential deals for Guehi and Leoni, Liverpool will not sell Konate, who is out of contract at the Premier League club next summer.
The Daily Mail notes in the report: “Liverpool have no intention to sell Ibrahima Konate this window despite working on moves for two centre backs, as they continue to work towards a new contract for the France international.
“The Premier League club are working on deals for Parma’s Giovanni Leoni and Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, but Konate remains key to their plans for the new season.
“Real Madrid have been alert to Konate’s situation as they ponder signing him as a free agent next year should Liverpool fail to agree new terms. Other European clubs are also monitoring developments with the 26-year-old.”
