Liverpool Considers Transfers Amid Isak, Newcastle Striker Deals

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has indicated that the club remains open to making further signings before the summer transfer window closes, particularly if the right player and price present themselves. A key focus is the potential transfer of striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle, whose £110 million bid was previously rejected, but Newcastle's imminent signing of Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade for around £69 million may prompt them to reconsider Isak's availability. Isak has been training alone at Newcastle and has expressed a desire to leave, with Newcastle reportedly wanting around £150 million for him. While Liverpool has strengthened its squad with seven senior players this summer, the team is still seen as light in attacking options behind Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo. Slot emphasized that while there is no urgent need to add players after two games, Liverpool will explore opportunities to strengthen if it benefits the team. The transfer saga is expected to continue up to the Monday 7pm BST deadline, with Liverpool also maintaining interest in England center-back Marc Guehi.
