๐จ Ibrahima Konate is close to agreeing a deal with Real Madrid after walking away from Liverpool
As @mcgrathmike explains, a move is likely assuming Florentino Perez is re-elected as club president โคต๏ธ

A disgrace. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad have both been cleared over the alleged assault on a male police officer.
If the races were reversed, Iโm confident that this would not be the outcome.
A two-tier justice system which needs radical change from top to bottom.

Good luck to Elliot Anderson if he wants to join City ahead of Manchester United. Every player needs to be completely invested, not incentivised to do so. They can't & shouldn't match City's offer, if he still doesn't want to prioritise joining the club, move on.
Casemiro's farewell & departure have shown the legacy piece involved in playing for a club like Manchester United, while 2026 has shown the huge opportunity to help bring the club back to the pinnacle of football - if that doesn't make the case, nothing will.
We'll soon find out where Anderson's priorities lie.
When Sir Bobby Robson went back to St Jamesโ Park in July 2009, it was for a game that had been arranged in his honour.
By then, he was gravely ill.
But it was still Bobby Robson.
And if there was one thing he hated, it was being late or letting people down.
So even with everything he was going through, he still made sure he was there.
The match was a charity game for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, and it brought back the players from the 1990 World Cup semi-final.
England against Germany again.
Peter Shilton was there.
Peter Beardsley was there.
David Platt was there.
Des Walker was there.
And of course, Paul Gascoigne was there.
Alan Shearer started as well, which was not quite accurate for Italia 90, but it made sense in every other way.
Shearer had always credited Bobby with saving his career at Newcastle.
Bobby was taken round the pitch in a wheelchair.
He took his hat off to the crowd.
Then he shook the hands of the players.
All around St Jamesโ Park, the supporters started singing for him.
โWalking in a Robson Wonderland.โ
Then the theme from Italia 90 played.
And when Nessun Dorma began, it brought everything back.
Gazzaโs tears.
Chris Waddleโs penalty.
That whole summer when England had nearly got there.
Only this time, nineteen years later, England won.
Bobby went home that night exhausted, but ecstatic.
Nobody knew for certain at the time that it was goodbye.
But it was.
A few days later, the statement came.
โIt is with great sadness that it has been announced today that Sir Bobby Robson has lost his long and courageous battle with cancer.โ
โHe died very peacefully at his home in County Durham with his wife and family beside him.โ
After that, people started arriving at St Jamesโ Park.
At first it was hundreds.
Then it was thousands.
They brought flowers, scarves, shirts, photographs and cards.
Newcastle opened a corner of the ground for tributes, but the queues just kept growing.
They stretched down Strawberry Place and past Shearerโs Bar.
There were Newcastle shirts.
Ipswich shirts.
England shirts.
Even Sunderland and Middlesbrough shirts.
For once, none of that mattered.
It was not really about rivalry anymore.
It was about Sir Bobby Robson.
