Ibrahima Konate has revealed how the tragic death of Diogo Jota and the loss of his father left him battling depression during the season with Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Konate will leave the Reds at the end of this month after five years at the club having failed to agree a new contract, and is instead expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

It proved a difficult final campaign for the 27-year-old – currently with France preparing for the World Cup – which started with the death of Jota last summer.<\/p>\n

Jota and his brother Andre Silva were killed in a car crash in Spain in July as the Portuguese forward was travelling back to Merseyside to begin pre-season training.<\/p>\n
