Manchester United sign Isaac Konde from Liverpool

Manchester United announced that 16-year-old winger Isaac Konde has joined from Liverpool and will enter the club’s academy, while the clubs have yet to agree on compensation for his departure. The club said Konde had left Liverpool, where he made regular appearances for its Under-18 side toward the end of the 2025-26 campaign. Reports say he is expected to join Manchester United’s Under-18 setup. The move was announced on September 28, with further reports published the following day. Liverpool is entitled to compensation, according to reports on the transfer, but no amount has been agreed. If Manchester United and Liverpool cannot settle on a figure, the matter could be referred to an independent tribunal to determine the payment. The clubs’ positions and any final compensation amount have not been disclosed. Accounts differed on whether the arrangement was fully settled when the signing was reported. One report described the deal as completed over the weekend, with the fee still undecided; others said it was not entirely finalised because compensation remained unresolved. Manchester United’s announcement confirmed the signing, but did not specify a compensation figure.
