Liverpool have already started hatching plans ahead of the summer transfer window, and RB Leipzig centre back Ibrahima Konate could be the first through the door.
Following an injury crisis at the back, the Reds have moved quickly to solve their troubles and are looking to finalise a deal to bring Konate - who has a £33million release clause in his contract - to Anfield.
Konate will be viewed as an option to contend for a first-team spot straight away, but the Reds will also see him as a valuable asset for the future.
