Darwin Nunez reacts to message from Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate amid exit links
Darwin Nunez reacted to a message from Liverpool teammate Ibrahima Konate on social media amid rumours of an Anfield exit.
Liverpool secured only their second Premier League title of the century, finishing 10 points ahead of Arsenal.
But much of the success of this season has been overshadowed by chatter of players potentially leaving the club.
Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk committed their futures to Liverpool in April, with both signing two-year extensions.
However, Trent Alexander-Arnold will join Real Madrid this summer after deciding against joining his teammates in remaining with Arne Slot‘s side.

Winning never gets old it seems, as Konate took to Instagram to share more photos of himself holding aloft the Premier League trophy, captioned simply with a trophy emoji.
The post was liked by Nunez, who has been linked with an exit from Liverpool after a disappointing season in which the Uruguayan scored just five league goals.
The striker has been with the club for three seasons now and after appearing to find his feet last season, the former Benfica man regressed during Slot’s first season in charge.
Ibrahima Konate contract situation a concern for Liverpool
Desperate to avoid a similar situation to Alexander-Arnold’s contract debacle, Liverpool have made extending Konate’s deal their top priority this summer, Pete O’Rourke exclusively revealed to Football Insider.
The club have made a nasty habit of allowing their best players to run down their contracts, putting them in an unfavourable situation.
Madrid are ready to make a push to sign Konate, Mick Brown told Football Insider exclusively on 22 May.
The Spanish giants have already beaten Liverpool to the signing of Dean Huijsen this summer, forcing the Reds to look at other options.
Following Alexander-Arnold‘s departure, losing another of their best players to Los Blancos would be devastating for the Reds.
Martin Allen revealed exclusively to Liverpool News that the club would block Andy Robertson’s exit this summer.
