Iraola sets shortlist of four players to replace Liverpool's Konate

Andoni Iraola has prepared a shortlist of four players as potential replacements for Ibrahima Konate, who is leaving Liverpool this summer. With the transfer market opening in a week, Iraola aims to solidify Liverpool's defense after two regular starters are set to depart. Goncalo Inacio of Sporting Lisbon, Luka Vuskovic of Tottenham Hotspur, Murillo of Nottingham Forest, and Sam Beukema of Napoli are being considered, with Inacio heavily linked due to his fit with new tactical plans. Liverpool is looking for a high-level center-back to address long-term recruitment needs.
