Liverpool bosses CONVINCED Real Madrid talks are real
Real Madrid reportedly believe they have a wonderful relationship with Liverpool. That was a report earlier in the year as they continued their pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
They'd land him, of course. Alexander-Arnold held Liverpool at bay for years, in fact, before deciding to reject their contract offers and sign for Real Madrid.

We'll see how that works out for him but he's certainly not the only player who chose Los Blancos over the Reds. Half of Real Madrid's team, it seems, was once linked with Liverpool.
And they're not stopping there. There are reports all over the place linking Real Madrid with certain players at Anfield.
Ibrahima Konate, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch...; we wonder if a couple more could get added to that list this season. Especially if Liverpool perform as well as expected.

Liverpool believe talks are real
Marca reports that Liverpool bosses believe Real Madrid are already talking to Konate. They're convinced that there have been discussions and that a potential agreement between the two already exists.
The report goes on to suggest that Liverpool will offer another contract to the Frenchman but if it's rejected, they may look to sell in this transfer window. None of this should really be a surprise.
When the Spanish media goes this hard on a potential transfer to Real Madrid, you can bet there's something in it. We saw exactly the same with Alexander-Arnold last summer and beyond, after all.
It's just how things work over there and we fully expect that Konate has been in discussions of some sort with them. What's less clear is Liverpool's next move.

👏 New signings shine as Liverpool win on Premier League return
Current champion, Liverpool debuted in the Premier League 2025/26 with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth, at Anfield, on Friday (15). The night was full of beautiful and emotional tributes to Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident, in early July. Despite the excitement, the game also had room for a possible racism case against Semenyo. According to information from the press present at Anfield, a racial offense from the wheelchair sector caused the match to be paralyzed by referee Anthony Taylor. The Premier League's own profile confirmed the racism complaint at Anfield and promised an investigation into the incident. "Tonight's match between Liverpool Football Club and AFC Bournemouth was temporarily interrupted during the first half after a report of discriminatory abuse from the crowd, directed at Antoine Semenyo, from Bournemouth. This is in line with the Premier League's on-field anti-discrimination protocol. The incident at Anfield will now be fully investigated. We offer our full support to the player and both clubs. Racism has no place in our sport, nor in any place in society. We will continue to work with stakeholders and authorities to ensure that our stadiums are an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone". ⚽ The game With the ball rolling, still in the first half, Ekitike - a reinforcement of 90 million euros (around R$ 567 million) - received the ball, gave a dribble at speed to enter the area and had a lot of calm to open the scoring. In the celebration, the 23-year-old French striker - who scored his first Premier League goal - made the numbers 2 and 0 with his hands in tribute to Diogo Jota's number 20 jersey. After the interval, just three minutes in, Ekitike provided the assist in the area for Gakpo, who carried the ball from the left to the middle and finished low, in the corner, to increase the lead. Again, in the celebration, the same tribute to Diogo Jota. However, Bournemouth did not give up with the disadvantage on the scoreboard. And who sought the reaction was precisely Semenyo. In a spectacular counter-attack, Brooks received at speed on the left and crossed to Semenyo, who finished first to reduce the deficit. In the celebration, he picked up the ball and kissed his right arm. Perhaps, a response to the possible racist offenses suffered in the first half. And, in the final stretch of the exciting match, Semenyo received the ball from Traoré in the defensive field and advanced at speed, without being bothered, until he removed the marking at the entrance of the area and hit Alisson's contrapé to equalize. However, in the last minute of regular time, Chiesa - another reinforcement for the attack - picked up the rebound in the area to decree Liverpool's victory. Finally, in the additions, after a long ball from the defense, Salah believed in the play, stayed with the ball on the left, entered the area, scribbled in front of the marking and finished to secure the rout.🚦 How it stands After the exciting home win, Liverpool returns to the field on August 25 (Monday), when they visit Newcastle, for the second round of the Premier League 2025/26.
