Latest Liverpool transfer news including fresh news, thoughts and stances towards Alexander Isak from Newcastle

Liverpool continue to be linked with Alexander Isak with transfers still possible after the start of the Premier League season this weekend. Clubs still have more than two weeks to be able to conduct any outstanding business.

On that front, the Reds have chosen to advance toward two defensive signings. They were considering a move for Parma talent Giovanni Leoni, who is reportedly open to the €30 million (£26m) move, before it emerged talks have opened over a potential £35m deal for Marc Guehi ahead of his Crystal Palace contract expiring next summer.

Though where Liverpool are concerned, the big move on many supporters’ minds would be Isak’s. There is still a lack of clarity over which way the saga cold go this month.
