Liverpool’s transfer activity seems to be kicking back into gear with the news of an “outline of agreement” being reached for Hugo Ekitike.

The forward could wind up joining the Reds on a deal worth more than $110 million, according to a report from The Athletic, should all the add-on clauses eventually be met.

With Darwin Nunez potentially on his way out of the club, Liverpool appears to have his replacement ready in Ekitike, an important addition given the club is shorthanded up front after the tragic death of Diogo Jota.

But Ekitike isn’t the only striker on the club’s radar.

Newcastle’s Alexander Isak has been a Liverpool target for some time and remains a possible addition to the club with the preseason already underway.

Isak was not with Newcastle for the club’s friendly at Celtic, which resulted in a 4-0 win for the Glasgow side.

According to The Telegraph, Newcastle values Isak at £150 million ($201.2M), a far cry from the £120 million ($161M) Liverpool appears willing to pay for him.

Should Newcastle receive its full valuation for Isak, it would be a record transfer fee for a player at a British club.

“I’d say we have a few players who are irreplaceable,” Howe said.

If the club did add both, the Premier League champions would be around a gross summer spend of $500 million.

The club may choose to strengthen itself in other positions, among them centerback, where Marc Guehi remains an option.
