They may've already spent nearly £300million but Liverpool are in the thick of another transfer saga.

Alexander Isak, who first emerged as a target before Hugo Ekitike's £79m arrival, is the man who's orchestrated it, having told Newcastle that he wants to leave Tyneside this summer.

It's understood that Liverpool remain interested even though it'd cost them more than the £116m they paid to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.



Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott have all been linked with moves away, with two of them missing Saturday's 4-2 loss against AC Milan in Hong Kong.

He was injured so we didn't want to take the risk and it was also the same with Wataru Endo, trained with us all week but we didn't want to take a risk with him either."
