Liverpool transfer news: Alexander Isak warning as Newcastle told ‘make it really hard’.
Liverpool are embroiled in the biggest transfer saga of the summer as speculation continues to rumble over whether they will sign Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak..
Liverpool’s summer signings have been so stellar that even Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has confessed to being wowed by their transfer dealings.
Yet, with Arne Slot’s reigning Premier League champions already bolstered by an influx of talent worth more than £250m, there’s still anticipation for more action as the Reds eye a blockbuster move for Newcastle’s striking sensation Alexander Isak in a deal that could surpass £120m.
A swoop for Crystal Palace skipper Marc Guehi also remains a possibility as Liverpool look to reinforce their defence following the departure of Jarrell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen and gear up for a season laden with high expectations for England’s most successful football club.
With just over two weeks until the new Premier League season kicks off, here’s all the latest transfer news from Anfield.

Talksport presenter Simon Jordan has warned Alexander Isak to “buckle up” as Newcastle might stand firm and refuse to let the Swedish striker leave.
The 25-year-old has expressed his desire to consider opportunities away from St James’ Park, with Liverpool emerging as the frontrunner for his signature.
The forward hasn’t joined Newcastle for their pre-season tour, citing fitness concerns, and former Crystal Palace owner Jordan has urged Liverpool to step up their transfer game and place a bid. He also emphasised that Newcastle has every right to safeguard their interests and their player.
Jordan said: “There’s also a school of thought that he can do whatever he pleases. He can also do as he’s bloody told, buckle up and do as he’s told. It depends how strong a football club wants to be. Liverpool can sit there…
“I’d like to see at times, these miscreants over at the PFA [Professional Footballers’ Association]. I have a few things to say about players and their attitude when they decide they’re not going to turn up for training.”
Jordan added: “Look, if Liverpool want to buy this player, then they should get on with trying to buy him, and Newcastle have got to be very strong in what they want.
“I don’t really care what Alexander Isak wants right now. If I’m the owner of the football club, the manager of the football club, my job is to make sure that I’m okay. So if you want to come and buy my player, come buy him or bugger off…
“But don’t use that as an opportunity just to unsettle the player. Make a bid, or I’m going to make it really, really hard for you to buy this player.
