Alexander Isak will not be in St James' Park on Monday evening for the Newcastle match against Liverpool, but the Reds may already go further to leave the striker in the Limo
Liverpool visits Newcastle in a holiday match tonight with the central character that has not even been set up to be present. Alexander Isak's opportunities to move from the window to Anfield in the last week seem to be decreasing while the days before the deadline.
Nevertheless, his absence in the midst of the biggest transfersaga of the summer will dominate the discussion before and after the meeting of this evening in St James' Park while the second round of Premier League matches runs one after the other.
And the latest reports suggest that Liverpool is now exploring alternative signing sessions, including a Real Madrid star who is pushed on the edge by Xabi Alonso.
Here are the transfer stories that are worthwhile to keep an eye on the last week of the window.
Rodrygo reports
With the Isak Transfer Saga that sweated, Liverpool is now in advanced conversations with Real Madrid -wing player Rodrygo as an alternative, according to reports from Spain. De La Liga Giants would be open to sales – but only with a steep price tag of € 100 million (around £ 86.5 million).
Adding Rodrygo can make Liverpool the tactical flexibility by moving Cody Gakpo to a central striker role when needed and the asking price is still considerably less than what Newcastle will accept for Isak.
Guehi Twist
Manchester City weighs a dive for Marc Guehi but only when the Midden-Backs Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake leave this week.
Crystal Palace star Guehi is already followed by Liverpool, which means that the potential of a situation is not too incredibly to Ebereechi Eze's relocation from the palace to Arsenal instead of Tottenham.
Guehi went into the last year of his contract in Selhurst Park and refuses to sign a new one, which means that the English International could be available for a reduced price £ 35 million for next Monday's deadline.
NUNEZ OF FORM
Darwin Nunez has made an impressive start of life in Saudi Arabia, in which the former Liverpool striker finds the back of the net in the last previous season of Al-Hilal on Saturday. Nunez joined Al-Hilal in a deal with a value of around £ 46.3 million earlier this month.
The 26-year-old has scored in all three of his pre-season performances for his new club, with Nunez on Doel in victories in Aarau, Waldhof Mannheim and Al-Fayha.
