Reds ‘flash the cash’ for Isak while Madrid are trying to steal Konate

Liverpool have signed Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez so far in the ongoing transfer window, but the exciting period for the Reds has apparently started just now, as they are probably the most active side in the world at the moment.Bayern Munich are after Luis Diaz, and even though Liverpool rejected their first offer, the Bavarians won’t give up easily. Darwin Nunez is on the verge of leaving Anfield, and Saudi Al Hilal are allegedly leading candidates to snatch the Uruguayan. At the same time, the Premier League champions are desperately looking for a striker, while they could lose a vital centre-back.€67.5 million for Diaz? You wish, BayernNamely, according to the latest information brought by The Athletic, the Reds have expressed interest in Newcastle’s net-buster Alexander Isak and are ready to “flash the cash” and offer as much as €140 million for the Swede!Still, the Magpies are taking a firm stance, insisting that Isak is not for sale. Nevertheless, if they – hypothetically – let the 25-year-old go, they would instantly turn to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike. Moreover, they have already offered €80 million to the Germans, but they rejected the bid, demanding €20 million more.Richard Hughes:”£120m for Isak, or we’ll take Ekitike instead, and you’ll probably lose Isak in 12 months for less too”Tick, tock Newcastle⌛️ pic.twitter.com/09iBKhbSPD— Anything Liverpool (@AnythingLFC_) July 15, 2025 To make matters even more intriguing, Ekitike is also Liverpool’s target, or, to be precise, an alternative if Newcastle don’t give in and sell Isak.And while the Reds fight their “striker battles,” Real Madrid are working on stealing their centre-back, Ibrahima Konate!The Frenchman’s deal with the club expires next June and – given that he refused to extend his contract – the Reds can either sell him now or let him go for free in a year. The problem is that they almost certainly won’t earn as much as they invested in the defender when they brought him from Red Bull Leipzig three years ago.🚨❗️𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Real Madrid sent an ultimatum to the Liverpool management: “Either accept €20-25m for Konaté or lose him for free in summer 2026.” 💣👀 pic.twitter.com/3Wj4e57BkR— The Touchline | Football Coverage (@TouchlineX) July 15, 2025 In July 2021, Konate was paid €40 million. His current release clause is €50 million. However, Real Madrid is offering “only” €20-25 million, placing the Reds in a dilemma: earn little or nothing.Apart from the financial moment, Konate’s eventual departure would have been a massive blow for Arne Slot’s squad, as he and Virgil van Dijk were one of the best centre-back duos in Europe.The Dutchman and Mohamed Salah extended their deals and stayed faithful to Liverpool. Trent Alexander-Arnold chose another path and joined Real Madrid. At the moment, Konate has two paths before him, though he seems closer to following in TAA’s footsteps.##NAJAVA_MECA_9019115##
