Liverpool facing a dilemma
Faced with this situation, the current leader of the Premier League will have to decide, accept a transfer this winter in order to recover compensation or keep his player until the end of the 2024-25 season. Whatever the outcome, the Madrid daily underlines that the management of the Merengue will respect the decision of the English club, due to the cordial relations between the two institutions.
