Liverpool has been associated with a move for Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain while they are preparing to sell Darwin Nunez to Saudi-Arab side Al-Hilal in a deal that could surpass the £ 50 million
Liverpool has agreed a deal to sell Darwin Nunez to Al -Hilal – and will now concentrate on landing a replacement. The Reds have Newcastle striker Alexander Isak as their best target, but do not panic buying an alternative if they don't get their husbands.
They will only switch goals if they believe that another person who meets their criteria can be purchased in this window. Nunez, 26, flies to Germany on Thursday to complete its medical with the Saudi club, which are currently in Europe for preparations for the season.
Al-Hilal pays £ 46 million in advance with bonuses that cost the reimbursement more than £ 50 million. Liverpool paid £ 65 million for the front to £ 85 million in 2022. The Reds have already brought Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer in a deal with a maximum value of £ 79 million.
But they have now sold Nunez together with Luis Diaz, while Diogo Jota died tragically in a car accident, which makes them eligible on the attack. That is why they chase Isak.
They are only on the market for a start ahead and no backup. But they will only pay what they believe is a fair market value and haunting someone they believe they can land before the window closes.
In the past, Liverpool has shown that they do not turn to other goals if they do not get their number 1 unless they believe they also meet their criteria. That is the feeling here and they do not believe that they should land a striker, but there is a need for it.
An example of this would not sign another center-back if they had to postpone a movement for Virgil van Dijk in the summer of 2017 or last year when Martin Zubimendi struck them to stay in real sociedad. PSG Forward Bradley Barcola, 22, has been connected to the club in recent days as an ISAK alternative with the idea that Ekitike would play centrally.
But although the attacker is loved by Liverpool and a number of clubs, there is no planned movement for him at this stage. It is unlikely that PSG will be considered to let him leave, making it unreachable. While Liverpool also feels that a left -sided attacker of Barcola's age would block the path of the talented teenage Rio Ngumoha.
Does Liverpool need Bradley Barcola more than a striker? Say in the commentary part.
Nunez leaves the club that spent three years at Anfield and was a signing that was insisted on by Jurgen Klopp after the Uruguayan had impressed in Champions League matches against the Reds. But he failed to show enough clinical finish to be a normal starter for the Reds. Nunez wanted to leave in January when there was interest from Saudi side Al-Nassr and others.
Liverpool was stuck and wanted him to stay while they chased Premier League and Champions League Glory. Napoli failed earlier in the window, when Nunez asked again to leave, but now Al-Hilal has reached the conditions with Liverpool and the player will earn £ 400,000 a week in Saudi.
Laverpool failed last week with an £ 110 million offer for Isak and waiting for encouragement before a second offer, which will probably break the British transfer record. Newcastle is not entertaining bids until they find a replacement for Isak, but it seems that they are missing their newest target, because RB Leipzig -striker is negotiating Benjamin Sesko on conditions with Manchester United.
Isak, 25, now recovers from a dijing injury and training away from the Newcastle First-Team team after Eddie Howe was angry with the player's actions when he started training in the former club Real Sociedad while the Magpies were in the Far East.
