Alexander Isak remains the core of a lot of speculation in the midst of tires with a move to Liverpool and a final decision on his future seems to have been made with under a remaining month
Liverpool finally gets their season 2025/26 on Sunday. The Reds travel to Wembley Stadium to hire the Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in the community shield.
And fans will be treated to a large number of new faces that appear in a competitive sense for the first time in their Anfield career. Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike are all expected to be included in the team.
A man who will not be the Liverpool team is their newest target Alexander Isak. The Swedish attacker remains a firm player from Newcastle, but his future in St James' Park is still far from certain.
Away from a new striker, the Reds also have a center-back on their shopping list, but it is still to see whether they succeed in getting a deal over the line.
That said, view all the latest news about the transfer and rumors of the red half of Merseyside:
Newcastle will not allow Alexander Isak to leave the club in the midst of interest from Liverpool this summer. According to De Telegraaf, the magpies have taken a hard attitude of their attacker's desire to leave.
They have told him in uncertain terms that he will stay, although he will no longer play for the club until he accepts that he will not leave in the near future. It is also reported that Isak did not take the news particularly well.
The attacker is currently training away from his teammates and did not appear during the weekend when Newcastle will take on Espanyol and Atletico Madrid in friendly competitions for the season.

Arne Slot believes that the lucrative summer window of Liverpool was needed given the amount of players that the club left. Liverpool spent almost £ 300 million through the window.
During their transfer transactions, Slot said: “What I think there is not enough talk about it – although you have to make your own decision when you talk about it – [is that] I have lost four players who have started regularly. And one of them, I, we, his family, lost him. That's Diogo.
'Then Darwin might be about to leave. Luis Diaz was a clear starter and Trent [Alexander-Arnold] was a clear starter.
“So normally teams in the Premier League buy alone and we never sell. We both do. We have lost players in a good phase of their career. I am used to that, and it sometimes also gives new energy.”
Liverpool seems to have a relatively simple run to Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi – was she allowed to make a movement. The defender of England has been identified as a potential signing, with a new center-back required.
And a deal may be easy. According to De Telegraaf, Liverpool is in pole position to sign it as it looks now.
Chelsea was previously credited with an interest in Guehi, but the blues have set their attention on other goals. They are looking for a new defender after the long -term knee injury of Levi Colwill.
