Alexander Isak's Transfersaga shows no sign of progress in the midst of new speculation of a renewed pressure to sign defender Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace
The dust is not yet fully arranged after what will be certain if one of the Premier League matches of the season and Breakout star Rio Ngumoha has become an overnight sensation thanks to his last GASP winner to break Newcastle's Harten.
And while Arne Slot and Virgil van Dijk greeted the impact of the 16-year-old, the club hierarchy knew that his potentially violated their rules around paying young stars to keep him away from Chelsea.
In the meantime, there are no updates around the now annoying Alexander Isak -Saga, while the Focus now has to be sure to ask the Reds to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in the midst of doubts about their defensive versions in the first two weekends of the season.
Here are the transfer stories from in and around Anfield with less than a week before the summer window closes.
Isak -solution fast
Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes says that the players want Alexander Isak's transfersaga to be resolved as quickly as possible, where the striker is still insisting on a move to Liverpool.
Isak did not present this season in front of Eddie Howe after he refused to join his teammates for the preseason and only training for the entire summer.
Since then he has released a statement that complains about “broken promises” of the Newcastle -Hierarchie, which went back with their own message and denied that they had guaranteed that he would be sold in this transfer window.
Liverpool has already rejected £ 110 million for the Sweden International, with Newcastle appreciating him at around £ 150 million.
After Monday evening's game, Guimaraes said that he had not talked about the situation with Isak, but urged the club to find a conclusion from the Saga to have the team concentrated on the coming season.
Guehi -Help
Manchester City -defender Manuel Akanji has emerged as a target for Crystal Palace in a transfer that can help facilitate Marc Guehi departure to Liverpool.
Palace is looking for the market for central defenders in case Liverpool meets their appreciation for Guehi before the summer transfer window closes on Monday. The captain of the palace started the last year of his contract and chairman Steve Parish admitted that they would now have little option to sell to prevent him from losing for free next summer.
Oliver Glasner has made it clear that they will not punish the departure of Guehi for the second stage of their play-off from the Conference League against Fredrikstad on Thursday. But the deal can still be completed during the weekend, if a compromise is found between Palace's £ 45 million appreciation and Liverpool's of around £ 35 million.
Ngumoha
The Reds work under a strict wage structure for graduates from the academy, but in 2024 they made a rare exception to lure Rio Ngumoha to Merseyside. Although the teenager officially has the contract of a scholar worth £ 1,200 per month, his deal is supplemented with a package of bonuses that can considerably increase his income.
Such stimuli are rarely offered at the academic level, ESPN report, which underlines both how high Liverpool rate Ngumoha rate and the measures they were willing to take to ensure that Chelsea would not hold him.
Ngumoha, born in London, joined Chelsea's youth arrangement for the first time in 2016 and was generally considered a future player of the first team. Former club captain John Terry, who has worked in the academy in recent years, greeted him on social media as “a top, top player” after news about his move to Anfield Brak.
