Real Madrid’s interest in Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate appears to be waning. The Spanish giants are reportedly reconsidering their pursuit of the 26-year-old French centre-back, who is set to become a free agent next summer.
Reports suggest that Liverpool have identified Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix as a potential target. The 25-year-old French defender could be seen as a viable replacement should Konate leave Anfield. Meanwhile, Manchester United have shown interest in Brentford’s Yehor Yarmolyuk, adding the 21-year-old Ukrainian midfielder to their list of transfer targets.

The 17-year-old midfielder is expected to join the Red Devils, further strengthening their youth ranks. Newcastle United are also active in the transfer market, with a keen eye on Athletic Club’s Oihan Sancet, a 25-year-old Spanish attacking midfielder.
