Overview

• French outlet L’Équipe, echoed by multiple reports, says Liverpool tabled a revised contract offer around two weeks ago and feel confident, though several details still need to be resolved.
• Real Madrid continue to track Ibrahima Konaté for a potential free transfer next summer, with their focus heightened after William Saliba signed a long-term deal at Arsenal.
• Konaté is in the final year of his contract and can negotiate a pre-contract with foreign clubs from January, raising the stakes for Liverpool to secure a renewal.
• Public chatter intensified after Duolingo highlighted Konaté’s progress in its Spanish ‘Diamond League’, a social signal that fuels speculation but carries no formal transfer significance.
• Liverpool are evaluating centre-back contingencies, with links to Gleison Bremer and others resurfacing following a failed late move for Marc Guéhi and an ACL injury to new signing Giovanni Leoni.
