A bold strike at the main enemy! Manchester United snap up Liverpool's top talent
Manchester United are continuing their aggressive pursuit of the standout talents in the academies of their fiercest rivals.
Details: Renowned insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United have fully agreed a deal to sign 16-year-old winger Isaac Konde from Liverpool. Rumours of the impending transfer first emerged two weeks ago, and the clubs have now settled the final legal details, with the Mancunians preparing to release an official announcement.
According to The Athletic, the winger will initially sign a one-year scholarship agreement, after which he will automatically put pen to paper on a five-year professional contract. The compensation fee payable to Liverpool for the young player's transfer could reach a seven-figure sum in pounds sterling. The footballer is expected to immediately join Manchester United's Under-18 squad, managed by Darren Fletcher.
Isaac Konde had been part of Liverpool's academy since 2018, standing out among his peers with exceptional acceleration and dribbling ability. It is worth noting that during the 2025/26 season, the young midfielder made six appearances for Liverpool's Under-18 team and registered one assist.
