Latest Transfer News: Real Madrid Target Konaté, Mourinho Eyes Son, Osimhen Linked to Liverpool

The 2025 summer transfer window is now in full swing, and Europe's elite clubs are wasting no time identifying key targets. With more financial flexibility than during the winter window, expect blockbuster deals, emotional farewells, and shocking moves as the market heats up.

Here’s a breakdown of today's biggest stories shaking up the transfer world:

Real Madrid Plot 2026 Move for Ibrahima Konaté

  • Player:Ibrahima Konaté

  • Current Club: Liverpool

  • Contract Expiry: 2026

  • 2024/25 Stats: 31 games | 1 goal | 2 assists

  • Position: Centre-back

Real Madrid are already planning for the future and have earmarked Konaté as a free transfer target in 2026. The club has made a habit of luring world-class players nearing the end of their contracts, such as Kylian Mbappé and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who both arrived under similar circumstances.

Though Liverpool have no immediate plans to sell, Madrid will continue to monitor Konaté’s situation in case renewal talks stall.

Mourinho Wants Son Heung-min at Fenerbahce

  • Player:Son Heung-min

  • Current Club: Tottenham Hotspur

  • 2024/25 Stats: 30 games | 7 goals | 10 assists

  • Position: Left Winger

Jose Mourinho, now head coach at Fenerbahce, has reportedly reached out personally to his former player Son Heung-min about a sensational switch to Turkey.

After spending over a decade at Tottenham, Son could be ready for a new challenge — and reuniting with Mourinho may be tempting. However, financial negotiations remain the biggest hurdle, with Fenerbahce needing to offload wages or secure external backing.

Liverpool Eye Victor Osimhen as Salah Era Winds Down

  • Target:Victor Osimhen

  • Current Club: Napoli

  • Linked Club: Liverpool

  • Position: Striker

With Mohamed Salah's long-term future uncertain, Liverpool are reportedly considering Victor Osimhen as a marquee signing. The Nigerian forward has been linked with Chelsea and PSG, but Liverpool now enter the fray with new boss Arne Slot prioritizing attacking reinforcements.

Osimhen’s release clause stands around €120 million, but Napoli may negotiate for a slightly lower fee depending on player interest.

Inter Milan Remain Favorites for Højlund

  • Player:Rasmus Højlund

  • Current Club: Manchester United

  • 2024/25 Stats: 32 games | 4 goals | 1 assist

  • Position: Centre-Forward

After a disappointing debut season at Old Trafford, Man United may be open to offloading Rasmus Højlund. Inter Milan, who previously showed interest before his Atalanta move, are back in the picture and keen to bring the Danish striker back to Serie A.

While United haven’t put Højlund on the market, their continued interest in other strikers like Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike could trigger a sale.

Man United Enter Race for Hugo Ekitike

  • Player:Hugo Ekitike

  • Current Club: Eintracht Frankfurt

  • Linked Club: Manchester United

  • Position: Forward

United have also made initial inquiries for French striker Hugo Ekitike, who had a strong finish to the Bundesliga season with Frankfurt after a move from PSG.

With his market value rising and age on his side, Ekitike could become part of a long-term youth-focused rebuild at United, especially if Højlund is sold.
