Newcastle United have rejoined the race to sign PSG striker Gonzalo Ramos, increasing the chances of Liverpool signing Alexander Isak.
Despite having an awe-inspiring summer transfer window with the signings of Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman, the Reds are eager to sign a few more players.
The Merseyside defence is in dire need of reinforcements due to the contract renewal conundrum of Ibrahima Konate and a lack of depth.
However, Arne Slot & Co.
are adamant about signing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and are reportedly preparing the Premier League record-breaking deal to sign the forward.
And this pursuit will finally turn out to be fruitful with this latest update emerging.

The Swedish international has made it clear that he wants to join the Merseyside club.
This has led to the Tynesiders leaving Isak out of first-team training and also out of the squad for the PL opener.
Eddie Howe & Co.
have been clear with their demands: the 25-year-old will be allowed to leave once they sign a striker and receive £150 million for his sale.
According to a latest report via Mail Sport, the Saudi PIF-owned club have renewed their interest in PSG forward Goncalo Ramos.
Earlier this summer, the English side had even offered the French side a swap deal involving Isak and Ramos.
Newcastle were interested in the Portuguese striker even when he was at Benfica, prior to his move to Paris.
Although Ramos committed his future to the Ligue 1 club in the post-match interview after his recent goal in the UEFA Super Cup, the lack of first-team selection under Luis Enrique can lead to his departure.
This would, in turn, help Liverpool in their pursuit of Alexander Isak, adding to a monstrous transfer window.
