Liverpool and Newcastle United could be set for another transfer tussle this summer, mirroring last year's events.

On the other hand, Newcastle was reportedly willing to part with £45M ($60.75M) to secure the services of Joe Gomez, who was out of favor at Anfield.

Although the deals wouldn't have officially been recorded as a player plus cash swap for PSR purposes, it's believed they were nearly finalized, with Gordon even considering a medical.



However, the deals fell through, resulting in Gordon remaining at Newcastle and Gomez staying put at Liverpool, where he earned his second league winner's medal.

This summer, a similar scenario could unfold, given the mutual interest Liverpool and Newcastle have in each other's squads.

Liverpool is reportedly setting their sights on Alexander Isak, as Arne Slot aims to bolster his attacking line-up.
