Liverpool lost Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> to the LaLiga<\/a> giants this summer, receiving only a small fee because Real Madrid wanted to bring his registration forward for the start of the Club World Cup<\/a>. The 26-year-old Konate has also moved into the final 12 months of his deal, meaning he can sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside of England starting Jan. 1. However, while Liverpool have not yet been prepared to match the central defender’s demands, the Premier League<\/a> champions are determined he won’t go the same route as Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n – Juventus<\/a> have reached an agreement to sign Jadon Sancho<\/a> from Manchester United<\/a>, and the deal could be confirmed by Thursday. Tuttosport<\/a> reports that the winger will sign a four-year contract worth \u20ac6 million plus bonuses. Juve have made an offer of \u00a315 million, and they hope they can get the deal over the line by including a series of achievable add-ons to bump up the fee. As for exits, Fabrice Hawkins<\/a> reports that United States<\/a> star Timothy Weah<\/a> has agreed to terms to complete a move to Marseille<\/a>.<\/p>\n – Liverpool<\/a> have reached an “outline agreement” with Eintracht Frankfurt<\/a> over the proposed transfer of Hugo Ekitike<\/a>, The Athletic<\/a> reports. The next 24 hours are expected to be crucial, as there’s still work to be done before the deal is formally wrapped up. ESPN sources revealed on Thursday that Liverpool were in advanced talks<\/a> to sign the 23-year-old, who has already agreed to personal terms. The Premier League<\/a> champions have already recruited fellow Bundesliga<\/a> star Florian Wirtz<\/a> this summer. Should all add-ons be met, the final transfer fee is expected to exceed the \u20ac95 million Eintracht received from Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> for Randal Kolo Muani<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n – Adam Wharton<\/a> is set to stay at Crystal Palace<\/a> for the 2025-26 season, making Liverpool<\/a> favorites to sign him in the summer of 2026. The Sun on Sunday<\/a> reports that Palace do not want to lose the midfielder, as Marc Gu\u00e9hi<\/a> and Eberechi Eze<\/a> are likely to depart before the transfer deadline on Sept. 1. Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, Bayern Munich<\/a> and Real Madrid<\/a> are also looking at the 21-year-old. If he stays at Selhurst Park, Liverpool will be in a stronger position to make a move after prioritizing attacking changes ahead of the upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n – Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior<\/a>‘s contract renewal at Real Madrid<\/a> is “up in the air,” according to the Diario AS<\/a> front-page story on Sunday. The newspaper claims talks over a new deal have stalled since February, when the Brazil<\/a> forward’s camp told Madrid what he’d expect to earn. Vin\u00edcius’ current contract expires in 2027, and the club would be reluctant to allow negotiations to drag on into next year, although interest from Saudi Arabia in the player appears to have diminished. The report adds that he wants a salary increase from \u20ac15m per year to \u20ac20m, making him the club’s best-paid player.<\/p>\n EXPERT TAKE 2:07<\/p>\n Ogden: Isak missing Newcastle’s friendly raises suspicions of a move<\/p>\n Mark Ogden debates why Alexander Isak was sent home ahead of Newcastle’s friendly vs. Celtic.<\/p>\n CONFIRMED DEALS<\/p>\n – Kyle Walker-Peters has signed a three-year contract with West Ham United after leaving Southampton.
