The movement of Liverpool for Alexander Isak remains the biggest story in the transfer market with his manager in Newcastle that he stays somewhat in the dark
Liverpool is home again and will be prepared twice on Athletic Bilbao at Anfield tomorrow, with the entire team of Arne Slot to be handed over for a few minutes with a week to go until the FA Community Shield against Crystal Palace in Wembley.
But for the time being, all the focus remains on the question of whether they can get Alexander Isak from Newcastle. A £ 110 million deal has been rejected by the tone, which wants considerably more for their star striker because he has three years to walk on his contract. He was also ready to return from Spain to the northeast this weekend.
And although Liverpool has already spent almost £ 300 million on new signing sessions, they are under no PSR pressure that has already sold several Rand members of the team, while commercial and matchday income has grown considerably.
Here are the transfer stories that are worth keeping an eye on as the new season approaches quickly
'Clueless' how
Eddie Howe admits that he has no idea where the future of Alexander Isak is after the rejected bid of Liverpool.
Isak stays away from the rest of his Magpies teammates, who are in the middle of their pre-season tour through Asia, after he asked to leave St James' park. Liverpool made their first attempt to sign him earlier this week with an £ 110 million bid.
That was immediately rejected by Newcastle, who wants to go closer to £ 150 million, now with Liverpool willing to run away from a possible deal if they think it cannot be done. In the midst of the drama, Howe has given an update and said he had no contact with his star striker, while he cannot predict his immediate future.
Isak 'Driftbui'
If Liverpool has to get hold of this summer in Newcastle United Talisman Alexander Isak, they need him to 'throw his toys out of the pram'. According to former Eksters Vooruit Les Ferdinand, who confirmed his old club “under no pressure” to cash in.
“They signed him on a big contract and he has a few years left with them, so they are not busy selling unless he throws his toys out of the pram,” Ferdinand said.
Morton output
The Reds are set to supplement their transfer spot even further after a £ 15 million deal to sell Tyler Morton to Lyon. The midfielder seems to be on the way to the east of France after a package including a clause of 20 percent sale was considered worthy of the player's exit.
Morton, 22, England helped the European championships under 21 this summer to win and was linked to the city of Ipswich, but nobody has matched Lyon's offer. The Academy graduated is present in Arne Slot in the preseason plans, but does not have a Premier League appearance among the Dutchman in the past term.
The departure will continue with a summer that has seen a number of anfield outputs while Liverpool brings in reimbursements to deliver their considerable expenses. The Reds have already achieved £ 65 million for Luis Diaz from Bayern Munich, £ 35 million from Bayer Leverkusen for Jarell Quansah, £ 18 million for Caoimhin Kelleher, £ 10 million for Trent Alexander-Arnold and £ 3m for Nat Phillips.
