Ibrahima Konate is set to leave Liverpool after five years at Anfield, Sky Sports reports.
The 27-year-old had been in talks with the club about extending his contract but could not find common ground when it came to signing a new deal and is now set to walk away for free.
Konate has been linked with a number of sides across Europe since the turn of the year, but has yet to decide on his next move.
The France international has made 183 appearances since his arrival from RB Leipzig, winning one Premier League title, one FA Cup and two Carabao Cups.
In terms of solidifying things in midfield and defence, No 6 makes sense given they need another option to Ryan Gravenbech and that’s an area where we expect Liverpool will at least look to address.

Remember that Jeremy Jacquet will become a Liverpool player this summer from Rennes – just before he turns 21 – in a £60m deal. He is the second-most expensive defender to join Liverpool.
But Jacquet himself has missed the back end of the season with a shoulder injury. Liverpool also have Geovanni Leoni to come back from his ACL injury.
Virgil van Dijk is still at Liverpool, as is Joe Gomez – who has just a year left on his contract. So there could be movement in that centre-back role.
Cover at left-back may be needed with Andy Robertson saying his goodbyes – although they also have Kostas Tsimikas returning from his loan spell.
