Liverpool have shown interest in Yoane Wissa as part of potential transfer dealings this summer, linked especially with ongoing negotiations involving striker Alexander Isak. Newcastle United, who currently have Isak, are reluctant to sell him without securing a suitable replacement. Wissa, currently at Brentford, is seen as a possible option to fill that role for Newcastle should a transfer go through. Despite Brentford initially considering Wissa not for sale, recent reports suggest the player wants to move to Newcastle to play Champions League football, perceiving it as a unique opportunity at age 28 going on 29. He is reportedly eager for the clubs to finalize the move as he has no intention of playing for Brentford again, following his exclusion from recent preseason matches[1].

Meanwhile, Liverpool's attempts to sign Alexander Isak appear to have stalled. The club acknowledges Isak as a talent but the deal is complicated by the fact that Newcastle need reassurance on their forward line before allowing Isak to leave. Darwin Núñez’s place at Liverpool also faces uncertainty, with AC Milan and other clubs showing interest in signing him, although no official bids have yet been made. Núñez remains contracted for three more years, and his transfer would likely result in a financial loss for Liverpool given the original signing cost. This situation represents a significant dilemma for Liverpool's transfer strategy this window, particularly in the striker position[2].

In summary, the ongoing transfer activity reflects a complex interplay: Liverpool aims to strengthen attacking options by possibly recruiting Isak, Newcastle wants a replacement like Wissa before selling Isak, and Brentford’s Wissa strongly desires a move to Newcastle for Champions League football. Meanwhile, Liverpool faces its own outgoing transfer considerations with Núñez attracting bids but no resolution yet[1][2].
