Ibrahima Konate admits Liverpool need to freshen up their squad with new additions this summer if they’re to be Premier League title challengers again.
The Reds won two trophies in 2021-22, taking the League Cup and FA Cup, while falling agonisingly short in the Premier League, pipped to the title on the final day by Manchester City. They also reached a third Champions League final in five years, only to lose 1-0 to Real Madrid in Paris.
But this season has proven far more difficult for Jurgen Klopp’s men, with their European exit at the hands of Madrid last week ending their hopes of silverware, having already lost out in both domestic cups. Additionally, a Premier League campaign filled with inconsistency - typified by their 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth, a week after beating Manchester United 7-0 - and injury issues, has seen them left scrambling in the fight for fourth, with the Reds currently seven points behind Spurs.
