Liverpool is reportedly preparing to make another attempt to secure the signing of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak after the two teams face off on Monday. The 25-year-old forward was previously the subject of a rejected bid worth £110 million earlier this month, prompting him to express his discontent on social media. Following this upheaval, Isak has not appeared in any matches for Newcastle this season.
In the wake of Liverpool’s interest, iNews indicates that Newcastle is bracing for a renewed offer from the Reds before the transfer window closes. Isak’s situation has become increasingly complicated, especially after his Instagram post claimed that “the relationship can’t continue.” This has raised questions about his future at St. James’ Park.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s focus may shift toward developing younger talent. Reports from The Times suggest that the club is considering investing in 16-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha, rather than pursuing high-profile players such as Bradley Barcola from PSG or Malick Fofana from Lyon.
Tottenham Hotspur is also active in the transfer market, looking to finalize a £60 million deal for Manchester City winger Savinho. The 21-year-old is eager to join Spurs, and the transfer hinges on the size of the offer submitted to Manchester City. Additionally, Tottenham’s pursuit of Como midfielder Nico Paz has encountered a setback, with a €70 million offer being turned down. Paz, only 20, has expressed a desire to remain at Como as he eyes a potential return to his former club, Real Madrid, next year.
The transfer landscape is buzzing with other significant moves as well. According to The Daily Star, Manchester City is contemplating a bid for Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guehi should they part ways with Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake. Guehi, who has just one year remaining on his contract, is attracting interest from Liverpool, Tottenham, and Barcelona.
In further developments, former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté may leave Al Ittihad after two years, with interest from Ligue 1 clubs, including AS Monaco and Paris FC. Meanwhile, AC Milan is targeting Adrien Rabiot from Marseille, who has been placed on the transfer list following a recent altercation with a teammate. Reports suggest that Yunus Musah, an American midfielder, may make way for Rabiot, as Milan seeks a deal that would not accept offers under €30 million.
Other rumors circulating include Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund nearing a move to Napoli, while Tottenham and Aston Villa are keeping tabs on West Ham midfielder Lucas Paquetá. Arsenal is reportedly close to signing Victor Ozhianvuna, a 16-year-old midfielder from Shamrock Rovers, for a record £2 million transfer fee, set to join in January 2027.
As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, clubs are racing to secure their desired targets, making for an exciting time in the football world. The next few days promise to be pivotal as teams finalize their rosters for the upcoming season.
