Meanwhile, Luis Diaz's move to Bayern Munich seems to get closer and closer by the day.
With three forwards out, it's understandable why Richard Hughes wants to bring in Alexander Isak, on top of having already secured the future of Hugo Ekitike.
With Isak and Ekitike, Liverpool will have a formidable forward line. You'll still have Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah to make up the 'fantastic five' in attack.
Not to mention young Rio Ngumoha and potentially Jayden Danns also giving Slot's side options in the rotation.
In another world, Ranel Young could have also been part of that conversation. Last season, the 19-year-old regularly trained with Slot's first team.
He even made the first team squad on two separate occasions. First against Brighton in the EFL Cup, where Young sat on the bench. Then later against Plymouth in the FA Cup, where again Young was not able to get on the pitch.
Those experiences should have pointed towards hope of a breakthrough for the youngster. Despite his contract expiring at the end of the season, Liverpool confirmed that they had made an offer to him and a number of other players.
But Young has rejected that offer and he has now agreed a sensational move elsewhere.
Remarkably, Young has gone from Liverpool to FK Usce. Yes, you heard that right, the Reds youngster has moved to Usce. This has been confirmed on the club's official Instagram page.
Who are they?
Last season they were competing in Serbia's third division and earned promotion to the Prva Liga, which is the second division of Serbia.
That's where they will be competing this season, and they will be hoping Young will give them enough firepower to stay up and potentially even earn back to back promotions.
It's a very rogue move for the Liverpool youngster. At the same time though, it's an opportunity to venture abroad and play regular first team minutes.
At 19-years-old, that's what you will want to be doing and Young can now use this opportunity to build his career. A successful season in the Prva Liga can become a springboard to a much higher level.

New York Giants training camp: Top 5 plays from Week 1
The New York Giants wrapped up their first week of training camp on Sunday under overcast East Rutherford skies and with their shells on. There were many highs and lows throughout the week, but more reasons for optimism than pessimism. The offense looks like an entirely different unit than a year ago, while the defensive front seven flashed utter dominance. There were also more than a handful of highlight plays on all sides of the ball, breathing life and excitement into the fan base. Here's a look at the top five plays of the week. 5. The catch that wasn't On the very last play of Sunday's wrap-up practice, rookie running back Cam Skattebo flashed brilliant hands and concentration, hauling in a deflected pass while tapping his toes on the ground. Unfortunately for Skattebo, he was out of bounds by an inch... But it shouldn't take away from the highlight catch. 4. Jones pick-6 Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was introduced to fine-line football in his first training camp practice as a pro. During red zone drills, Dart attempted to fire a tight ball into tight end Greg Dulcich, who was undercut by cornerback Nic Jones. From there, it was off to the races for a pick-6. 3. Wan'Dale stunner Quarterback Russell Wilson, unlike Daniel Jones before him, isn't afraid to throw the ball downfield, where wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson flashed this week. One of those plays included a beautiful fade, where Robinson made a sliding one-handed touchdown grab in front of cornerback Dru Phillips. 2. Carter destroys JMS Rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter is a freak of nature and established himself as a human highlight reel in Week 1 of training camp. He showed out every single day and made multiple "wow" plays in each practice. Arguably, the most unbelievable came when he lined up off the ball inside and completely destroyed center John Michael Schmitz. 1. Darius slays Veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton electrified Sunday's crowd early in practice, hauling in a dazzling one-handed catch along the sideline. Not only was he able to secure the ball, but he got both feet in bounds for the big gain off the arm of Russell Wilson.

Report – Italy U21 Star Wants To Join Inter Milan But Won't Wait Forever
Parma defender Giovanni Leoni reportedly wants to join Inter Milan this summer, but 'won't wait forever' for the move. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. For the last several weeks, Inter have been heavily linked with Parma defender Giovanni Leoni. Reportedly, the 19-year-old is the player the Nerazzurri see as ideal for the long-term future of their defense. Furthermore, the fact that Leoni had worked with coach Cristian Chivu last season has further bumped him up Inter's list of targets. However, the price tag for Leoni would be quite high. Reportedly, Parma are holding out for as much as €40 million to sell the teenage defender. Giovanni Leoni Wants Inter Move – But Won't Wait Forever BOLOGNA, ITALY – OCTOBER 06: Giovanni Leoni of Parma calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Bologna and Parma at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on October 06, 2024 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) According to the Corriere dello Sport, Leoni himself wants to join Inter. Particularly because of Cristian Chivu becoming Nerazzurri coach, the 19-year-old feels that he will be in a good environment to development at Inter. However, that does not mean that there aren't other clubs keen on Leoni's signature. Far from it. The likes of AC Milan and Juventus also want to sign Leoni. Then, from the Premier League, the Corriere name Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United as admirers of the teenage defender. Inter have the advantage as far as Leoni preferring the move. However, if they cannot make their move in due time, the 19-year-old could accept other destinations. Alternatively, Parma's preference would actually be to hold onto Leoni for another season.

LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Positions of need have been addressed this summer, notably left-back, right-back and striker, in addition to bringing in a promising goalkeeper who can push Alisson over the next few years. But each of the decisions you make in the transfer market have a direct influence on the prospects of your academy talents, making it harder or easier for them to eventually get a chance in the first-team. When an extraordinary talent comes around, you have to make sure to not block their pathway. Ngumoha needs a chance in Arne Slot's side this season In 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha, Liverpool have a potential generational player, who is already delivering at levels far beyond his age. Pre-season has fans incredibly excited about what he could become. Playing at left-wing, the teenager is comfortable taking on his man and creating his own space in tight offensive situations. These are the type of attributes that give you goosebumps as an onlooker. Liverpool need to have different dynamics in the side and a piece of individual brilliance can sometimes be enough to crack open a game. Ngumoha is very much capable of delivering that. Of course, he is still incredibly young and his game will need to mature before he gets a real crack at breaking into the first team, but you feel his raw talent can make a difference for us already.
