There has been significant change as Liverpool set out to retain their title.

But the final week or so is set to be dominated by Alexander Isak with Slot's team even set to face Newcastle in that time.

The Reds remain ready to make an offer but have yet to be encouraged to do so by Newcastle.

"As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired," said Newcastle in a statement following Isak speaking out.

"We do not foresee those conditions being met."

With that said, Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours.

It appeared as if Newcastle held all the cards in the Alexander Isak saga, but that could all be different next summer.

This would allow Isak to move without the say-so of his club, in a manner more similar to an everyday employee, per ESPN.

Article 17 can be invoked within 15 days of the final match of the season by players who have fulfilled three years under contract at a club.

It would allow Isak to depart in a unilateral breach of contract, and Newcastle would still be entitled to compensation.

That figure would be an uncertain one decided by the Dispute Resolution Chamber of FIFA's Football Tribunal if clubs can't come to an agreement.

The defender has been the subject of transfer interest from Liverpool and is with the final year of his contract.

Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Dyche said: “When you make a lot of signings, you do the agreement for their contract, but we’ll sort out a gentleman's agreement where we say we'll honour the player with an agreement off the record.
