Liverpool transfer updates likely before deadline

Liverpool weigh final transfer moves as the deadline approaches, including Isak and Guehi negotiations.

Liverpool pressing for Isak and Guehi deals ahead of deadline

Liverpool are nearing the end of the summer window with eight signings already completed. A reported £110 million bid for Alexander Isak was rejected by Newcastle United, keeping Isak in play as a possible target should the Magpies soften their stance. Liverpool have also spoken to Crystal Palace about Marc Guehi in a bid to pair him with Virgil van Dijk, aiming to shore up the centre of defense. The club remains interested in adding a wide forward after Diaz left, with links to players such as Malick Fofana and Bradley Barcola.

The breadth of transfer talk shows Liverpool willing to take calculated risks to reshape the squad quickly. The key question is whether the price is worth the payoff and whether the signs will bed in before the start of the season. The club has already moved to offset spending with sales totaling more than £200 million, including Ben Doak’s move to Bournemouth for £25 million. This puts pressure on new signings to deliver on the pitch and on the balance sheet.

Deadline day will reveal how deep the club’s confidence runs. If Guehi and a forward addition arrive on time, the project could look sharper; if not, gaps may appear in a squad built to compete at a high level without weeks of adjustment.

Highlights

The coming days will show how far Liverpool will push their strategy in this window.
