It has been a busy transfer window so far for Liverpool as Arne Slot builds his new team ahead of the new season starting in just a few weeks time.

The Reds kick-off the defence of their Premier League title in three weeks as they take on AFC Bournemouth at Anfield.

That match will likely see some players make their competitive debut for the club, including full-back Milos Kerkez who will meet his former club for the first time.

Others who could make their debuts are Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong.

Goalkeepers Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman have also completed moves to Anfield this summer.

However, the duo are expected to provide back-up and competition to first-choice Alisson.

There is just over a month of the transfer window remaining, too, meaning that there is plenty of time for both incomings and outgoings over the next few weeks.

With that in mind, here is a look at just a couple of the latest stories doing the rounds at Anfield;

The latest update surrounding the future of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is one that will be of interest to Liverpool with the Reds linked with an interest in the striker.

Reports on Thursday claimed Isak has expressed his desire to explore a transfer away from Newcastle.

However, The Telegraph state that any final decision made on the striker's future will be made by the club's Saudi owners - while Newcastle continue to insist that Isak is not for sale this summer.

The Magpies' valuation for Isak is in excess of £150million.

The involvement of chairman Al-Rumayyan in the situation is described as 'unusual', but the significance of Isak's future has led to them getting involved instead of leaving the decision to manager Eddie Howe as they normally would.

Bayern Munich are in 'advanced talks' with Liverpool over a potential deal for Luis Diaz, according to TBR.

The report says that Diaz has already agreed terms with the German outfit, with Liverpool's asking price stands at €100 million (£87.4m).

The report does, however, add that the Reds are 'ready' to accept an offer worth €80million (£70m), including €10million (£8.7m) in add-ons.

Diaz has been with Liverpool since joining from Porto in January 2022.

In his time at the club, so far, he has made 148 appearances - scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists.
