Liverpool to Offer Real Madrid, PSG Target New Contract Amid Major Decision Looming
Diario AS previously reported that Real Madrid is interested but only if Liverpool lowers their asking price. The Spanish club is said to be willing to offer between €20 million and €25 million, while Liverpool reportedly wants around €50 million.
Konaté is reportedly open to a move, and Madrid might prefer to wait until 2026, when he could leave on a free transfer, rather than meet Liverpool's current valuation.
Meanwhile, Foot Mercato recently revealed Konaté has been offered to several top European clubs—including PSG, Real Madrid, and Barcelona—boosting the likelihood of a transfer once his contract runs out.
Liverpool make one last effort to keep PSG targetMarca reports that Liverpool plan to offer Ibrahima Konaté a new contract in the coming days, and if he turns it down, they will likely put him up for sale this summer.
Earlier this month, journalist Abdellah Boulma reported that Liverpool are still in talks with Konaté over a contract extension. While no deal is finalized yet, the French defender is happy at the club and wants to stay.

Roma maintain interest in Florentino Luis
Roma are keeping alive their interest in Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis. The player is still on Frederic Massara's shortlist to strengthen Roma's midfield. According to Il Messaggero, both Florentino and Weston McKennie are two midfielders Roma are keen on based on Gian Piero Gasperini's requirements for the role. Other European clubs are also interested in Florentino, but his arrival in the capital would represent a significant leap in quality for Roma, who are looking for a player capable of completing the defense and ensuring solidity in both phases of the game.

Nagarro releases unaudited Q2 2025 results, posts 4.7% YoY revenue growth in constant currency and 14.2% increase in gross profit despite global macroeconomic challenges
MUNICH, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- Nagarro, a global digital engineering leader, today presented its unaudited financial numbers for Q2 2025 and released its half-yearly financial report. In Q2 2025, revenue grew to €252.0 million, up 3.2% YoY from €244.1 million in Q2 2024. Constant currency YoY revenue growth for Q2 2025 was 4.7%. Organic YoY revenue growth for the quarter was 3.8% in constant currency, which translated to 2.4% organic YoY revenue growth in Euro terms. Gross profit grew to €83.7 million in Q2 2025 from €73.3 million in Q2 2024. Gross margin was 33.2% in Q2 2025, against 30.0% in Q2 2024. Despite excellent operational efficiency in Q1 and Q2 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was significantly impacted by the revaluation loss on inter-company loans from Nagarro SE and its cash holdings due to the weakening of the US dollar against the Euro. Across Q1 and Q2 2025, the total impact on Adjusted EBITDA of currency revaluation plus foreign exchange forward transactions was a negative €18.0 million. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 was €30.5 million (12.1% of revenue), against €35.5 million (14.5% of revenue) in Q2 2024. EBITDA declined to €32.0 million in Q2 2025, from €32.8 million in Q2 2024. EBIT grew marginally to €23.4 million in Q2 2025, from €23.1 million in Q2 2024. Net profit declined to €8.3 million in Q2 2025 against €12.0 million in Q2 2024 mainly due to increase in income tax expense on account of withholding taxes on inter-company dividends remitted by downstream subsidiaries to their immediate holding companies. The number of clients doing more than €1 million in annual revenue in the last 12 months with Nagarro rose from 184 on June 30, 2024 to 188 on June 30, 2025. A dividend of €1.00 per share amounting to €12.6 million (13.1% of 2024 EBIT) has been declared during the Annual General Meeting held on June 30, 2025. H1 results Revenue grew to €498.9 million in H1 2025, up 3.4% YoY from €482.4 million in H1 2024. Constant currency revenue growth for H1 2025 was 3.6%. Organic YoY revenue growth for H1 2025 was 2.8% in constant currency, which translated to 2.6% organic YoY revenue growth in Euro terms.

Net profit declined to €19.6 million in H1 2025 against €28.6 million in H1 2024 mainly due to increase in income tax expense on account of withholding taxes on inter-company dividends remitted by downstream subsidiaries to their immediate holding companies. Operating cash inflow in H1 2025 declined to €26.1 million from €27.6 million in H1 2024, even while factoring utilization under the non-recourse factoring program was reduced by €8.5 million in H1 2025 from December 31, 2024. Days of sales outstanding, calculated based on the quarterly revenue and including both contract assets and trade receivables, has improved from 88 days on December 31, 2024 to 85 days on June 30, 2025. Nagarro's cash balance at the end of June 30, 2025 was €121.8 million as against €192.6 million at the end of December 31, 2024. Nagarro's loans and borrowings at the end of June 30, 2025, were €300.7 million as against €329.6 million at the end of December 31, 2024.

Martin Enderle, Chair of the Supervisory Board, is also the Chair of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. Until recently he was Chair of the Supervisory Board of Delivery Hero. Hans-Paul Buerkner, who was previously global CEO and Chairman of BCG, is the Chair of the Strategy Committee. Jack Clemons, who was global CEO of Bata and has been on various other boards, including being Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), is Chair of the Audit Committee. Update on guidance On January 23, 2025, we had projected Nagarro's revenue for 2025 to be between €1,020 and €1,080 million, when calculated at the currency exchange rates then prevailing. We now expect Nagarro's revenue for 2025 to come near the lower end of that guidance. We targeted gross margin in the region of 30%, as compared to 30.4% in 2024. We hold to this expectation of gross margin. We targeted the Adjusted EBITDA margin to be between 14.5% and 15.5%, compared to 15.2% in 2024. Despite strong underlying operational performance of the company, the revaluation loss on inter-company loans and cash holdings because of the weakening of the US dollar against the Euro is currently expected to lead the Adjusted EBITDA margin to be between 13.5% and 14.5%.

Kumbulla gives priority to Espanyol return
Marash Kumbulla's future is still up in the air. Having returned from his loan spell at Espanyol, the Albanian defender has never been a key part of Gian Piero Gasperini's plans. Furthermore, the imminent arrival of Jan Ziolkowski would further deprive him of his playing time. For this reason, Frederic Massara has been working for weeks to find him a new home. Several teams are interested in Kumbulla, especially Cagliari and other La Liga clubs. Espanyol would also be happy to bring him back to Spain, and it's the player's preferred destination. As reported by Sport, the 2000-born defender is prioritizing the club where he played last season.
