Alexander Isak is edging closer to a Liverpool move after reportedly agreeing a five-year deal, with personal terms settled. The Newcastle striker, currently training apart from the squad, is pushing for an exit, while Liverpool prepare an official bid to secure Arne Slot’s top target.
Slot has already bolstered his squad with Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, but the Reds are still active in the market.
Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi remains on their radar as defensive cover following Jarell Quansah’s move to Bayer Leverkusen. Talks earlier this month stalled, with Palace demanding £45m. A potential breakthrough may come after Palace’s Europa play-off on August 28.
Meanwhile, Isak added fuel to speculation by accusing Newcastle of “breaking promises” in a social media post — claims swiftly denied by the club. Eddie Howe confirmed ongoing talks with the striker but insisted those conversations remain private
