Liverpool's pursuit of Alexander Isak is perhaps the largest remaining unfinished Premier League transfersaga and it seems that the next 24 hours is vital
There are two weeks left in the summer window, but the next 24 hours can be the key to arrange one of the last remaining Premier League transfersagas. Liverpool has insisted to bring Alexander Isak from Newcastle to Anfield, who has already seen one bid are knocked back, but now it is about Newcastle's own transfer plans while the Magpies chasing a replacement.
If Liverpool is to land Isak, they might have to spend more than the £ 116 million Premier League record that Bayer Leverkusen convinced to renounce Florian Wirtz. Newcastle left Isak from their team to face Aston Villa on Saturday, in the midst of indications that he refused to play for the club, but a scoreless draw strengthened their need for a goal scorer – or that means it keeps the Swede or great to lose the top of last season.
Brentford -Frontman Yoane Wissa is one of those who are viewed by the side of Eddie Howe, and he was also out of the weekend's action. Earlier in the window it seemed that an £ 35 million bid could be sufficient to land the Congolese international, but the E -mail reports that the asking price has risen to at least £ 50 million.
Newcastle could end the window with two new strikers, because he had let Callum Wilson leave for nothing. Goncalo Ramos, who scored for Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup, is another option.
However, the Wissa deal is considered to decrease as the person with which Isak's future hangs. The same publication indicates that a failure to land the 28-year-old would make it more likely that Isak will remain in St James' park, with the next 24 hours as crucial.
“It's hard to answer,” Newcastle -Baas Eddie Howe told TNT Sports when he was asked about the Isak situation. “I hope it will be solved quickly, because it is always news around us.
“Players have succeeded in excluding that and to perform. We have to keep doing that. We have to cope with the story against us.”
The next game from Newcastle just comes to Liverpool at home. “It is always tough against Liverpool, there is a history of the fixture. We look forward to it. We know how good they are,” Howe added.
The title holders of Arne Slot showed little signs of more needed in attack when they defeated Bournemouth on Friday, with four different players just found it. However, there is still a gap in the team, with Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez who complete both summer outputs to help the Reds raise money for a potential Isak Swoop.
Federico Chiesa was one of the four scorers on Friday and took his first Premier League goal, and Slot suggested that the Italian was not going anywhere, despite talking about a summer exit. “As long as he is here, he is certainly in Liverpool and I have no reason to believe that something will change,” the manager said.
