Pre-season is all but done now for Liverpool, with attention turning to the 2025/26 season now - although it looks as though there will be more transfers to come over the next few weeks.

Arne Slot's side did the double over Athletic Club on Monday, winning their two games 4-1 and 3-2 at Anfield to set them up nicely for Sunday's Community Shield against Crystal Palace, with the Premier League title defense kicking off just five days later against Bournemouth.

The headlines though continue to be dominated by one man, and all eye will be on Newcastle this week to see what Alexander Isak's next steps are.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle)

The Daily Mail’s Craig Hope has cast serious doubt over whether Alexander Isak will return to training with Newcastle this week, and suggested the striker may have already played his final game for the club.

Isak was spotted driving into the Magpies’ training ground on Monday, potentially for talks over his future amid the ongoing links with Liverpool.

According to Hope, Eddie Howe hadn’t spoken to Isak over the weekend, and the reporter admits he would be surprised if he trains with his teammates this week, while suggesting that Newcastle’s pursuit of Benjamin Sesko points to the Swedish international "probably" moving on.

He does, however, include the disclaimer that Liverpool will still need to come back with an offer, and that if Newcastle doesn’t find a replacement for Isak, he will stay.
