🚨💣 BREAKING: Real Madrid have verbal agreement in place with Ibrahima Konaté!
Four year deal to be signed, depending on if/when Florentino Pérez is re-elected.
Here we go, expected right after. 🔜
Konaté put Saudi bids on hold for Real Madrid, as @marcosbenito9 reported.
[🟢] INFO: A replacement for Mohamed Salah is needed as a priority and Yan Diomande is a preferred target.
Liverpool are also looking to bring in another attacking player. They had interest in Gordon but he wanted to join Barcelona.
The decision on Konaté has been made to allocate money for those areas that require urgent attention rather than going ahead with what they deem would be an expensive renewal in the case of Konaté.
Liverpool intend to give Leoni and Jacquet the opportunities to fulfil their potential and they do have a buy-back clause for Jarell Quansah [in 2026 & 2027]

HERE WE GO! Hemos enviado un fax al @FCBarcelona_es con nuestra oferta de traspaso: 4 entradas para el concierto de Bad Bunny de mañana, una suscripción anual al ABC y una bolsa de pipas. Esperamos ansiosos la respuesta para preparar el ‘announce’.
🎖️ | @FabrizioRomano: It was an agreement on bonuses which prevented Ibrahima Konate agreeing a new contract with Liverpool.
The salary and length of the contract was agreed.
[🟢] “In case Liverpool decide to change their mind… [after] the end of season review, eventually Andoni Iraola could be a candidate. He used to work with Richard Hughes. For sure, he would be a candidate. He has an offer from Crystal Palace but he wants to understand which one could be the best option possible for him. At the moment, he is giving priority to Premier League football.

🚨🔵 Xabi Alonso will be announced as new Chelsea manager very soon on a FOUR year contract, valid until June 2030.
Everything agreed as Xabi will be in London in the next days to start this new chapter.
Understand he’ll be very much involved in Chelsea summer transfer plans.
🚨 Arne Slot message to Liverpool fans: “I can understand at this moment in time they don’t have confidence that things can be much better next season…
…but I think they are underestimating what a transfer window can do, what a new start can do… I think we know quite well what we have to improve”.
