Liverpool Nears £125m Alexander Isak Deal, Pursues Marc Guehi Ahead Deadline

Liverpool have been highly active in the summer transfer window, spending around £400 million and aiming to strengthen their squad further before the deadline. The club is poised to complete a British record transfer by signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, with Isak undergoing a medical ahead of the move. Additionally, Liverpool are pursuing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, with ongoing negotiations potentially dependent on Palace securing a replacement. Harvey Elliott’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain; while the club currently values him as a key squad member, his departure could be possible if Liverpool sign another attacker or receive an irresistible offer. Liverpool’s manager Arne Slot appears focused on shaping a squad tailored to his ambitions, having started the season with a perfect record and a Premier League title defense underway. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig is interested in Elliott as a replacement for Xavi Simons, though they have yet to meet Liverpool's asking price.
