Liverpool no longer has time to have Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace -defender Marc Guehi
The summer transfer window is approaching the end and despite the fact that they are large, Liverpool is not yet ready.
The side of Arne Slot has more than £ 300 million splashed to sign Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni, Armin Pesci and Freddie Woodman.
But the Reds still actively follow more deals in the final phase of the window. Sports director Richard Hughes has been a busy man after Fenway Sports Group defend a recruitment drive Greenlighted in an attempt to defend their Premier League title.
Despite the breaking of their transfer record for Wirtz, there can still be an even larger deal on the cards. Here Mirror Football looks a look at the latest news from Anfield and beyond.
Isak Ultimatum given
The time is for Liverpool to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle before the transfer window is closed. The Reds have not taken a step since their opening of £ 110 million offer was rejected by the Magpies at the start of the month. And although Isak wants to make the move, it is not easy.
The Chronicle reports that Newcastle will sell Isak, but only if they can sign a replacement on time and Liverpool can pay their valuation of £ 150 million. The side of Eddie Howe reportedly expects a second attempt to arrive before the window closes on 1 September, but it seems that there are still many variables involved.
Newcastle chases Yoane Wissa from Brentford and was also connected to Jorgen Strand Larsen van Wolves, although their £ 60 million appreciation of the Norwegian has postponed the magpies.
Guehi State of Play
The other long -term interest that Liverpool has is in Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi – and that must also be solved. Palace will not sell their captain for the second stage of their play-off from the conference against Fredrikstad on Thursday, but chairman Steve Parish has made it clear that they will do business for the right price, because they do not want to lose him for nothing next summer when his contract ends.
The Daily Star has reported that Manchester City could match Liverpool for Guehi in the coming days if they lose Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake. But there is better news from South Londs, where Palace is said to be a movement in line for Toulouse defender Jaydee Canvot as a replacement for Guehi.
Canvot costs € 20 million (£ 18 million) and the 19-year-old has also attracted interest from Aston Villa. If that deal comes across the line, Palace can be happier with their decision to sell Guehi. They have previously urged £ 45 million, while Liverpool said that they will not go beyond £ 35 million.
Tsimikas exit prepared
Kostas Tsimikas is now the third choice left back in Liverpool, behind Milos Kerkez and Andy Robertson, so a move away from Anfield always seemed likely this summer. Nothing has come to the fore earlier, but now things are confused for the Greek defender.
Gazzetta Dello Sport and Corriere Dello Sport both reported about Roma's interest in TSIMIKAS, who they want as a backup from Angelino. The 29-year-old was also looked at by Marseille and Roma, are therefore ready to perform their interest, whereby the owner will then hold meetings about transfers this week.
Liverpool is open to sales, but Roma would prefer a loan agreement, so a compromise should be reached.
