🚨💣 COMUNICADO OFICIAL:
Real Madrid announces that, following today's Board of Directors meeting, it has made an offer of €150 MILLION to Atlético Madrid for the registration rights of Julián Álvarez.
After reviewing and evaluating the offer, Atlético de Madrid thanked Real Madrid for the proposal, made within the framework of the good relationship between the two clubs, and REJECTED it, citing the player's release clause.
🚨🇪🇸 Multiple clubs have been in touch with people working on behalf of Marc Cucurella about a possible summer move.
Chelsea are relaxed because he has three years left on his contract. Those sources say Cucurella’s future at the club is yet to be decided, though they would not block his departure if an offer matched their valuation of him.

🚨 More on Ibrahima Konate’s Liverpool exit.
French defender will leave when his contract expires. Viewed by sources as a disappointing outcome, and one Liverpool tried to avert.
There was a significant gulf between club and player over terms.
Negotiations began in November 2023 and have continued since, but an agreement has proven elusive.
Liverpool are prepared to pay big wages but have remained disciplined in talks with Konate in order to retain squad equilibrium.
There are high hopes for Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni heading into next season.
Liverpool have chosen not to proceed with what is seen as an expensive renewal and will instead put that resource into replacing Mo Salah, and into strengthening other key areas this summer.🔴
