Konate Contract Talks and Bouwman Battle…
As the international break ends, Liverpool fans eagerly chew their fingernails, not just over the weekend’s Burnley match, but hoping Alexander Isak doesn’t trip over his own shoelaces on his EPL debut. In other news, Liverpool Director Richard Hughes is reportedly doing his best ‘super-agent’ impression, meeting with Ibrahima Konate’s representatives to talk contracts. And while Real Madrid lurks in the background like a cat ready to pounce, Liverpool remains hopeful of keeping the French international comfy at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is also half of a bake-sale fight for Ajax hotshot Aaron Bouwman. Alongside titans like Chelsea and Barcelona, the Reds eye Bouwman like he’s the last piece of cake at a birthday party. Having already made his senior debut, this center-back could soon be fighting off transfer offers like a kid dodging chores. And with former Liverpool coach John Heitinga in Ajax’s corner, perhaps they also hope he’ll put in a good word – assuming he hasn’t lost his voice from all the sideline yelling!
