Here’s our Liverpool news recap for Thursday, 30th May with updates on Conor Bradley, Alisson Becker and Ibrahima Konate.
LIVERPOOL TO OFFER BRADLEY CONTRACT
Liverpool have made a decision on Conor Bradley’s future – before Arne Slot has even arrived at the club and looked at the player.
Teamtalk reports that Liverpool are ready to offer Conor Bradley a new contract. The 20-year-old did receive a pay bump back in December but is still one of the lowest earners in the Reds’ first-team squad.
And so Liverpool want to tie him down long-term, with what will almost certainly be a significant pay rise.
ALISSON HAS SAUDI OFFERS
Alisson Becker Liverpool
Richard Hughes and Liverpool plan to reject some big-money offers coming their way for a first-team star this summer.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Alisson Becker was the subject of approaches from Saudi Pro League sides in March. Nothing is yet advanced but the contact is there.
Liverpool, however, aren’t intending to accept offers and plan on starting the season with Alisson. The ‘priority’ for both parties is for the Brazilian to remain at Anfield.
PSG WANT KONATE
Liverpool are reportedly in contract talks with Ibrahima Konate – talks that will hopefully prevent a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
L’Equipe reports that Liverpool are in ongoing talks with Ibrahima Konate over a new contract. The Frenchman has two years left to run on his deal – and teams are circling.
After all, this is the final year that Liverpool could demand a big fee for the defender. Next season, with only one year left, would dramatically weaken their bargaining position if Konate doesn’t sign a new contract.
LIVERPOOL LIKE TRAFFORD
James Trafford
Liverpool are set to do battle with Newcastle over the England Euro 2024 candidate James Trafford this summer.
That’s according to a new report in Football Insider, which suggests that the goalkeeper’s club Burnley will seek £20 million for him.
The Clarets have just suffered a Premier League relegation blow – and also lost manager Vincent Kompany to Bayern Munich – and their rebuilding efforts could be made even more difficult should they lose the 21-year-old shot stopper.
Although Trafford lost his place in Burnley’s team to Kosovo international Arijanet Muric during the season, he still remains a goalkeeper of considerable promise.
