Overview
- British media report Liverpool have agreed a fee of about £125m for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, with a medical scheduled and no official club confirmation yet.
- Head coach Arne Slot said the club are trying to strengthen on deadline day, capping a summer of heavy spending on additions such as Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.
- Talks continue with Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi, with Liverpool’s latest proposal near £35m plus a sell‑on and Palace seeking about £40m, and any move likely dependent on Palace sourcing a replacement.
- Newcastle’s club‑record signing of Nick Woltemade and reported pursuit of Yoane Wissa have been framed as paving the way for Isak’s departure.
- Separate reports say Manchester City are working on a deal for Gianluigi Donnarumma and Manchester United are exploring Emiliano Martínez, while Chelsea have submitted an opening offer for Barcelona’s Fermin López.
