Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that discussions are ongoing regarding a five-year deal that could directly influence Liverpool’s transfer strategy.
Newcastle United, meanwhile, are finding it increasingly difficult to line up a replacement for Alexander Isak, who continues to be linked with a move to Anfield.
Christopher Nkunku looks set to be unavailable this summer, with Chelsea and AC Milan close to reaching an agreement for the former Bundesliga star. At the same time, uncertainty surrounds Nicolas Jackson’s future, leaving questions over whether he will emerge as a realistic option for Newcastle during this transfer window.
According to Romano, AC Milan have already agreed a five-year contract for Nkunku, making a switch to Serie A by September 1 highly likely. He also noted that Jackson’s situation has yet to be resolved.
Interestingly, Chelsea are keeping a close eye on Isak’s situation before deciding whether to sanction Jackson’s potential move to St James’ Park. This suggests they want clarity over their own striker options before taking the next step.
