Liverpool set for late window boost with Isak and Guehi targets

Liverpool pursue major signings in the final hours while managing exits and long-term contracts.

Liverpool set for late window boost with Isak and Guehi targets

Liverpool are racing to complete deals before the Monday deadline as Arne Slot shapes a late-summer plan. Giorgi Mamardashvili joined from Valencia to provide goalkeeping cover, while Jeremie Frimpong was hijacked from Leverkusen to fill the right-back slot. The club then pursued Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and two youth signings Armin Pesci and Giovanni Leoni, taking total outlay to around £290m.

On the issue of exits, Kostas Tsimikas is set for a Roma loan, freeing wage space, and Liverpool have reportedly rejected late approaches for Harvey Elliott, arguing his value exceeds current market levels. As for the pending arrivals, Isak and Guehi are key targets to upgrade the frontline and defense. If secured, the squad would also look to contract Konate long-term and tie down Robertson, ensuring leadership and depth as Van Dijk moves into the later stage of his career.

Liverpool’s window reflects a push for a sustainable rebuild under Arne Slot, mixing high-profile signings with strategic exits. The plan aims to blend age-friendly depth with a spine that can compete on multiple fronts. It signals a shift from quick fixes to a longer-term project centered on frontline firepower and defensive solidity.

The challenge is not just the price tag but the integration. Isak and Guehi would require quick adaptation to a demanding league and a new system, while keeping the wage bill in check and maintaining cohesion with senior leaders like Van Dijk. The final hours will test whether ambition translates into trophies and long-term competitiveness.
