Liverpool Transfer News: Journalist refuses to rule out €50m deal
Liverpool have already made some difficult sales this summer. Difficult in the sense that they weren't players the club really wanted to lose.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was certainly offered several opportunities to sign a new contract. His departure was entirely his own doing.
The same with Caoimhin Kelleher. Liverpool never wanted to lose a homegrown talent as good as him but he made no secret of his desire for first-team football.
Then there's Jarell Quansah. The defender is a massive talent at centre-back but we all got the sense last season that he wasn't going to fulfil his potential at Anfield.
A big-money sale to Bayer Leverkusen worked nicely, to be honest. Maybe he'll be back one day with that buy-back clause.
These, then, were three situations where selling was making the most out of a difficult spot. And Liverpool may be about to do it all over again.

Ibrahima Konate could be sold
Ibrahima Konate's contract expires in under a year and it now looks incredibly unlikely that he signs a new one. It's a familiar situation, unfortunately.
What makes it extra familiar is that Real Madrid are waiting for him to arrive. They smell an easy transfer and the centre-back's head appears to have been turned.
Journalist Matteo Moretto certainly believes so. He told DAZN on Monday that there are no ongoing talks between Liverpool and Konate.

How Much Military Aid Has the U.S. Given to Ukraine? Here's What to Know.
When President Trump returned to office, he declined to announce new aid to Ukraine, and showed outright hostility to the country's president in a televised appearance at the White House. But Mr. Trump signaled a major shift this week when he announced a plan to sell weapons to NATO countries, which would then pass them along to Ukraine in its war against Russian forces. After Russia launched the war in 2022, the Biden administration sent Ukraine $33.8 billion worth of weapons from the Pentagon's stockpile, and another $33.2 billion in funds to help the country buy additional arms and hardware from the American defense industry. But the United States began sending military support to Ukraine even before that. What are the different types of military aid? To get U.S. arms to Ukraine quickly, the Pentagon has taken them out of its own stockpile and transported them to the country's border under a program called the presidential drawdown authority. Congress funds that effort by giving the Pentagon money to purchase replacements. On a slightly longer timeline, the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative sends U.S. taxpayer money to Kyiv so that it can purchase goods directly from American defense firms. Those orders can take months or even years to be delivered, and are intended to offer a reliable supply of certain munitions into the future. Mr. Trump announced a third way this week: The United States would sell arms to European nations, which would ship them to Ukraine or use them to replace weapons they send to the country from their existing stocks.
