Liverpool FC is preparing to make a renewed effort to acquire striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United following their upcoming match on Monday. This comes after Liverpool’s initial bid of £110 million for the 25-year-old was rejected earlier this month. Isak, who has not participated in any matches this season, expressed his dissatisfaction on social media, stating that “the relationship can’t continue.”
Meanwhile, Newcastle is bracing for Liverpool’s potential second attempt to sign Isak before the transfer window closes. The situation highlights Liverpool’s ongoing pursuit of bolstering their attacking options. In a strategic shift, Liverpool is also considering focusing on developing their young talents, such as 16-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha, rather than pursuing other high-profile signings like PSG’s Bradley Barcola or Lyon’s Malick Fofana.
Tottenham’s Ambitious Moves
In other transfer news, Tottenham Hotspur is making headlines with their intentions to secure Savinho, a winger from Manchester City, with a proposed bid of £60 million. According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, the 21-year-old player is eager to join Spurs, and the outcome now hinges on the size of the offer made.
Additionally, reports indicate that Tottenham’s interest extends to midfielder Nico Paz from Como, with a previous bid of €70 million turned down. Paz, only 20 years old, prefers to remain with Como as he aims for a future return to his former club, Real Madrid, which is expected to trigger a re-signing clause next year.
Shifts in the Market and Other Notable Rumors
The transfer market is buzzing with other significant developments. Manchester City is contemplating entering the race for Crystal Palace center back Marc Guéhi, particularly as both Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake have been linked with potential moves away from the club. Guéhi, 25, is a sought-after player, already attracting interest from Liverpool, Tottenham, and Barcelona. City views him as a viable option for around £35 million.
In the Saudi Pro League, Al Ittihad has reportedly opened the door for former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté to leave the club. The 34-year-old, who has spent two years with Al Ittihad, has been offered to various Ligue 1 teams, including AS Monaco and Paris FC.
Moreover, AC Milan is targeting midfielder Adrien Rabiot from Marseille after he was placed on the transfer list due to a recent altercation with a teammate. Rabiot’s situation has led to interest from both Internazionale and Juventus, but Milan’s coach Massimiliano Allegri is keen on acquiring the 30-year-old.
The transfer landscape remains dynamic as clubs around Europe continue to assess their rosters ahead of the window’s closing. With high-profile players changing hands and clubs vying for strategic reinforcements, the next few days promise to be crucial for many teams across the continent.
