Liverpool find themselves on the brink of a significant double signing, as they remain ‘confident’ of securing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi before the transfer window slams shut. Reports indicate that Liverpool are ‘ready to finalise’ the respective moves, with personal terms already ‘agreed’ with both players.
The addition of Isak and Guehi would cap off an ambitious summer window for Liverpool, who have already bolstered their ranks with the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and Giovanni Leoni. Should these deals be completed, it is expected the club will have spent a substantial £185m on the pair.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that Liverpool are merely awaiting the green light, as Newcastle and Crystal Palace continue their search for adequate replacements. Meanwhile, Football Insider suggests Liverpool’s communication with Isak’s camp remains ongoing, highlighting ‘daily contact’ as they inch closer to finalising the deal.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, speaking to DAZN, has revealed persistent attempts by Newcastle to retain Isak, yet the striker is said to favour a move to Liverpool. With negotiations continuing, Liverpool are keenly awaiting a decisive breakthrough.
Meanwhile, Newcastle appear to be actively working on securing Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves, with hopes that he can step in should Isak depart. Additionally, Yoane Wissa from Brentford remains another potential forward target, indicating Newcastle’s proactive approach in this window.
As the clock ticks down to the transfer deadline, the saga surrounding Isak and Guehi is poised for a dramatic conclusion. Liverpool faithful will be keenly monitoring developments, eagerly anticipating the imminent arrivals that could further enhance their squad’s credentials for the upcoming season.
