IBRAHIMA KONATE IN NEGOTIATIONS AS FUTURE AT LIVERPOOL REMAINS UNCLEAR

Bayern Munich are targeting Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté as a potential replacement for Dayot Upamecano. The French defender's contract expires in 2025, putting his long-term future at Anfield in doubt.

Ibrahima Konate, a defender for Liverpool, is apparently attracting a lot of interest from Bayern Munich, who have already gotten in touch with the player's camp.

Ibrahima Konate, a centre back for Liverpool, is apparently a target for Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich, who have contacted the player's management.

In the summer of 2021, Konate left RB Leipzig to join Liverpool, and he has since made over 145 appearances across all competitions, tallying six goals. 

Under Arne Slot, the Frenchman has emerged as a vital member of the team and was instrumental in the team's Premier League victory the previous season. 

The former Sochaux defender has proven his worth to the team this season by making 10 Premier League starts and four more in the Champions League. 

However, as Konate's contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, he will be free to leave the club as a free agent, raising serious questions about his long-term future at Anfield. 

Is Bayern considering a deal for Ibrahima Konate of Liverpool? 


With Dayot Upamecano expected to become a free agent like Konate next summer, the Bavarian powerhouses are in a similar predicament to Liverpool. 

The German media insists that Bayern is not even close to negotiating a contract extension for the 27-year-old defender, despite reports that Real Madrid and the player have verbally agreed. 

There is a big discrepancy between what Bayern is offering and what Upamecano wants, even if the two parties are supposedly negotiating a new contract.

Bayern has reportedly contacted Konate's agency because they believe the Liverpool defender would be an ideal replacement for Upamecano should he depart the team, according to a Bild story. 

Liverpool is anticipated to make a generous offer to retain Konate, but as long as he declines to sign a new contract, teams like Bayern and Real Madrid will be confident in their ability to sign him. 

Slot will anticipate another outstanding performance from Konate when Liverpool plays Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday. Konate had a fantastic game in Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Real Madrid, suggesting that he is back to his best. 

PSG TARGETING VICTOR OSIMHEN IN POTENTIAL €150M BLOCKBUSTER TRANSFER

PSG is linked with a shock move for Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is in top form, but the Turkish club will demand a fee of around €150 million for any transfer.

According to Reports, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been connected to a surprise move to PSG, a team in the French Ligue 1. 

For the last five years, Osimhen has been among the world's most attractive shooters. In France, Italy, Belgium, and now at Galatasaray, he has continuously scored goals.

The 26-year-old striker has already shown his worth after joining the Turkish powerhouses in the summer for a league-record €75 million.

Osimhen has six goals in three games this season, which puts him atop the UEFA Champions League goalscoring chart. He scored a record-breaking hat-trick at Ajax this week, which was his most recent haul.

Many clubs have taken notice of Osimhen's performances, and if he keeps up his current pace, a larger team may attempt to sign him away from Galatasaray in the near future.

Meanwhile, according to recent claims from Fichajes, PSG may even try to sign the former Lille player. They claim that coach Luis Enrique has requested that the team sign a top striker who is similar to Osimhen.

PSG's top nine. Since moving from Benfica for €65 million two years ago, Goncalo Ramos has not been totally convincing, and Enrique thinks a striker like Osimhen would help them keep up their position at the top of European football.

In response to PSG's interest, Galatasaray has committed €150 million for Victor Osimhen.


Fichajes claims that Galatasaray will only consider offers for Victor Osimhen that total about €150 million.

However, given that they recently paid €75 million for him and placed him on a massive wage plan, this is not shocking. They will therefore wish to recover the majority of their capital as well as more.

In addition, Alxander Isak, who is nearly as good as Osimhen, cost more than €140 million during the most recent summer transfer window. Galatasaray would therefore believe that they have the right to demand €150 million.

PSG has a reputation for spending a lot of money. The record of €222 million for Neymar is still in their possession. This is not the first time Osimhen and PSG have been connected. Les Parisiens would undoubtedly spend a fortune if they truly wanted him.

PREMIER LEAGUE RIVALS BEWARE: ERLING HAALAND PROMISES RELENTLESS CITY ATTACKING THREAT

In his quest for more goals, Erling Haaland has cautioned Manchester City's opponents that he is in the best physical and mental shape of his career.

With 13 goals so far this season, the Premier League's leading scorer has more than doubled his nearest rivals, including Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth.

Haaland is hoping to surpass his previous best of 52 goals in a single season, having scored 18 goals in 14 games across all competitions going into Sunday's matchup with Liverpool.

The 25-year-old declared, "I think this is the best version of myself." "This is the best feeling I have ever had."I feel great, and it is been a terrific start.

I have to keep my head in the correct place in order to stay sharp. It involves maintaining equilibrium and staying in the zone.

With a victory over Arne Slot's team at the Etihad Stadium, City may move four points clear of Liverpool thanks to Haaland's incredible play, which has kept them in the hunt behind league leaders Arsenal.

Erling Haaland has cautioned Manchester City's opponents that, in his quest for more goals, he is in the finest physical and mental shape of his career.

In addition, Haaland honoured City manager Pep Guardiola before his 1,000th game in charge. 

Pep Guardiola's 1000th game as manager is brought up during the discussion, and Haaland feels that City owes its head coach to fire themselves into the running for the championship.

It is the brilliant Pep Guardiola. The Norwegian continued. There is a reason he has been winning so much: his hard work and dedication.

Take a look at all that he has accomplished for this team and over his career; it is quite amazing. It is about cooperating; we must pay attention to him as he instructs us on how to play and what to do. He deserves our performance, so we must do it for him.

Guardiola said Liverpool are ideal opponents for the day he hits 1,000 and denied claims that his coaching has tactically altered the game.

Eight of the nine titles since Guardiola took over have been won by City and Liverpool, who were separated by just one point in two of those seasons.

"They would be the best rival if I had to pick only one for my personal milestone," Guardiola remarked. Liverpool has been the nation's fiercest adversary, particularly under Jurgen Klopp.

To be honest, it could not be better. That was decided by the universe. Living life to the fullest is pleasant. I am sorry, but the numbers are crazy.

"The wins, the average (points), not only in the Premier League but also in the Champions League... we have achieved amazing feats here, at Barcelona, and in Bayern Munich."

It is hard to get to, and I would not get there if I started over. Throughout history, managers have had an influence. Since the numbers support it and it has been enjoyable to watch our team, I can say that I have been involved.
