Ibrahima Konate and Darwin Nunez react to Mo Salah message ahead of double Liverpool exit
Liverpool duo Ibrahima Konate and Darwin Nunez have reacted to Mo Salah’s latest Instagram post amid speculation surrounding their future.
With the arrival of Florian Wirtz confirmed, Nunez has been linked with a move away from Anfield.
Meanwhile, as exclusively revealed by Football Insider, Konate could be leaving Liverpool in a matter of weeks as contract talks face collapse.
Arne Slot is set to continue to have a busy summer following the signing of Jeremie Frimpong last month and the expected arrival of Milos Kerkez.
Konate and Nunez respond to Salah message
Salah will be a Liverpool player next season after signing a two-year contract extension with the club back in April.
With the Reds not participating at the Club World Cup, Salah’s latest Instagram post has seen him enjoying a well-earned break.
The Egyptian posted three pictures of him relaxing on holiday with Konate and Nunez both liking the post.
Salah scored 29 goals last season as Liverpool cruised to their second Premier League trophy, and Slot will need him firing again if the Reds hope to make it back-to-back titles.

Football Insider verdict
It has been a productive transfer window so far for Slot in terms of arrivals with Frimpong and Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen strengthening the Premier League champions.
With Kerkez expected to join them soon, it looks as though the Reds could be the team to beat again next season.
However, the uncertain futures of Konate and Nunez could provide Slot with a problem.
Konate has built a formidable partnership with captain Virgil van Dijk and breaking up that relationship, with Newcastle and Arsenal to play in their first three games, could unsettle Liverpool.

| Won | 70 |
| Drawn | 18 |
| Lost | 16 |
Slot will therefore be desperate to keep Konate at the club, alongside fellow defender Andy Robinson who is also linked with a move away.
The departure of Nunez may not be felt as hard after he scored just seven goals last season, but him leaving would leave Slot short of natural strikers.
That may require another huge money transfer after already splashing out over £100million for Wirtz, and Alexander Isak would set them back at least £150m.
