Catch up on today's latest Liverpool FC transfer news, including interest in Hugo Ekitike, Bayern offer for Luis Díaz, future of Ibrahima Konaté, and update on summer signings.
1. Liverpool in Race for Hugo Ekitike
Newcastle have taken the cue from Liverpool in pursuit of Hugo Ekitike, 23-year-old French striker at Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite Frankfurt initially demanding €100 million for him, they dropped their asking price to €80 million. Liverpool's bid is connected with uncertainty over Darwin Núñez's future and pursuit of Alexander Isak. (The Liverpool Offside)
2. Luis Díaz Linked with Bayern & Barcelona
Colombian winger Luis Díaz, 28, may be on the move as Bayern Munich have submitted offers—starting at €52 million, with negotiations gearing toward €60 million + bonuses. Liverpool have historically rebuffed bids, but a “gentlemen’s agreement” reportedly allows Díaz departure if Bayern meets an €80 million valuation. Barcelona also remain in the frame.
⚫ 3. Ibrahima Konaté’s Contract Standoff
With his deal expiring in 2026, centre-back Ibrahima Konaté, 26, has turned down a renewal. Liverpool are keen to do business to avoid losing him free of charge next summer. Interest from clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Saudi's Al Hilal means Liverpool could offload for £40–50 million. (Liverpool Latest News .com)
