Konchesky followed Roy Hodgson to Anfield from Fulham for £4 million (S$7.8 million) last summer and, like his former manager, has endured a dreadful time on Merseyside. He spent the end of last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, and Liverpool are prepared to accept £1.5 million for the left-back, providing he agrees to join Sven-Goran Eriksson's team in the Championship. The 30-year-old has been granted permission to join Leicester at a pre-season training camp in Sweden where he will undergo a medical.
Jovanovic, who earned £120,000 a week during the first year of his contract with Liverpool, is also surplus to requirements and has attracted offers from Olympiakos, Anderlecht and Lille. The Serbia international said: "Lille, like Anderlecht, is a strong option. This is a good club, which plays at the top of French football, a high-level competition, and who will also play in the group stage of the Champions League. For me, that's interesting."

Kinda sad for Konchesky. Personally monitored his performances while he was with Fulham cos I played fantasy manager n had him in my squad.
He was a pretty decent player n had scored some nice goals, some fr his notable rockets. In fact he was 1 of the top defenders who had consistently chalked up points for his club.
But his form dipped drastically when he came to Pool. He was so ordinary n such a liability. wonder was it our mistake to sign him when he was recuperating fr injury @ Fulham??
