Liverpool now have a month to go before the summer transfer window closes as they defend their Premier League title.

Deadline day is set for September 1, which gives the Reds another 31 days to complete their transfer business and get all the new signings they desire.

Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman have all been signed by Liverpool this summer.



Liverpool also sold Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford, Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen and Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.

It's still uncertain what business Liverpool will get over the line by the time September 1 rolls around, but the Reds will hope to have their squad ready to challenge on multiple fronts for the campaign ahead.

Here, the ECHO takes a look at what could happen to give Liverpool a dream end to the summer transfer window.

It's clear that Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak, and it seems that the feeling is mutual.

Newcastle United have rejected an opening offer for the Sweden international on Friday, the Reds will still have hope they can agree a deal to bring Isak to Anfield before the deadline.

Liverpool's initial offer was a flat bid of £110m, which Newcastle turned down.

The Reds' current position is that they won't return to the table unless the Magpies change their stance.

Whatever happens next, a dream scenario for the Reds would be to get a deal agreed as soon as possible to see Isak become the eighth signing of the summer.

It's not just Isak that has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, but also a centre-back.

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has been credited as a target for the Reds over the last couple of months, but it remains to be seen if a deal will be agreed.

After letting Jarell Quansah join Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool are in need of at least one new central defender.

Whether Guehi is a player that the Reds will actively look to sign this summer is uncertain, especially given that the England international is out of contract at the end of the season.

Signing Guehi, therefore, would help fulfil Liverpool's dream transfer window scenario.

While Liverpool are wise to look at new signings, they should also look at players within their own squad.

One such player whose contract is quickly running out is Ibrahima Konate.

The defender's deal expires at the end of the season, meaning he could agree to leave as a free agent when January rolls around.

Real Madrid have been linked with signing Konate on a free transfer, just as they did with Trent Alexander-Arnold earlier in the summer.

As a result, Liverpool getting a contract extension over the line for Konate would certainly be a dream scenario for the club this summer.
