Liverpool could witness the departure of a player moving to Real Madrid for the seventh time in their history. The Reds are expected to have another sizeable transfer window following the exits of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate.
The player upheaval has also been mirrored in the managerial hot seat with Arne Slot’s dismissal. Departing Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been named the front-runner to replace the Dutchman.
The upcoming months could prove to be a defining moment in Liverpool’s long-term future. Mirror Football brings you all the latest news coming out of Anfield..

Alexander Isak left fans excited on Monday night after scoring a stunning solo goal for Sweden in their 3-1 loss to Norway in preparation for the World Cup 2026. However, his post-match comments garnered as much attention from the Anfield faithful as his strike when asked about the sacking of Arne Slot.
The 26-year-old said: “I’ve kind of disconnected from Liverpool now that I’m here [with Sweden]. It’s always sad when a coach has to leave. That’s usually the first position to change when things go badly.

“But as I said, I don’t know much about what has happened or will happen. I wish him all the best.” The striker will hope next season marks the return of the form that saw Liverpool fork out a British record fee of £125million for him last September.

Ibrahima Konate’s Liverpool exit was announced last week with the Reds set to lose the Frenchman for free. His next move has yet to be confirmed but reports from Spain suggest incoming Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho views the 27-year-old as a key target.
According to AS, the Spanish giants have renewed negotiations with Konate’s camp and are plotting a four-year contract for the defender with the option of an extra year. The Benfica manager has already signed a three-year deal to mark his Madrid return, as per The Athletic.
Konate was initially a target for Madrid earlier in the season before they cooled their interest. The centre-back is set to star for France in the FIFA World Cup 2026 this month in his third international tournament for Les Bleus.
