Overview
- The 24-year-old is in advanced talks with two high-profile agents to take over his representation in 2026, according to SPORT reports relayed by Football Espana and Yahoo Sports.
- Multiple outlets say he decided months ago to leave and has stepped up preparations to manage an eventual departure on his terms.
- Fichajes, cited by English outlets, reports Liverpool are prepared to lodge an offer of about £78m (€90m) this window, with Arsenal and Manchester City also monitoring.
- Real Madrid and coach Xabi Alonso have publicly backed the player and are reluctant to approve a mid-season sale, making a January exit unlikely and pointing to a summer move.
- His reduced impact this season — roughly seven starts and two goals — and strained dealings involving his father Eric Goes have added momentum to a potential transfer.
