Manchester United have completed a deal to sign 16-year-old midfielder Isaac Konde from Liverpool, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who gave the move his famous “Here we go!” confirmation.
Konde is considered a promising young talent and had been part of Liverpool’s academy setup. The move was initially reported earlier, but Romano has now confirmed that the formal steps have been completed, meaning the teenager is all set to make the switch to Old Trafford.
The transfer is particularly notable because of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United. United have been actively strengthening their youth setup and have also brought in other young talents as part of their plans for the academy.
For Liverpool, losing a highly-rated academy player to their biggest rivals will naturally be disappointing, although Konde is only 16 and is not currently part of Liverpool’s senior first-team plans.
