A Liverpool player is expected to depart the club as Alexander Isak prepares to join from Newcastle United in a high-profile transfer.
Liverpool have been busy this summer, investing heavily in new talent. They’ve secured signings like Florian Wirtz for £116 million and Hugo Ekitike. ..Continue Reading
At the same time, they’ve let go of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, and have also been affected by the loss of Diogo Jota.
Manager Arne Slot has been determined to strengthen his attacking lineup, with Isak being a top target throughout the transfer window.
That pursuit is now nearing its end, with Liverpool reportedly agreeing to a record-breaking fee for the Swedish forward.
The club is also working to finalize a deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi before the transfer deadline.
Guehi, who played in Palace’s recent 3-0 win over Aston Villa, has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield.
If Guehi signs, Joe Gomez is likely to leave Liverpool. Reports suggest that Gomez could join AC Milan, provided he approves the move.
Milan are in search of a new defender after selling Malick Thiaw to Newcastle.
Gomez has been with Liverpool since 2015 and has made 243 appearances. He came off the bench in the team’s 1-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday.
After that match, Slot was asked about Liverpool’s ongoing transfer activity. He said he expected to learn more about the situation later that evening.
“I will hear probably tonight if anything will happen,” he said.
If Liverpool get the Isak and Guehi deals done, then they will be the club’s eighth and ninth signings this summer.
