Liverpool have ALREADY enjoyed a record-breaking summer in the transfer window. Sporting director Richard Hughes has overseen £260m-worth of spending.

LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Hugo Ekitike cost an initial £69m from Eintracht Frankfurt - while Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili are the other significant incomings. But the signing of Alexander Isak has the potential to blow those other deals out of the water. Liverpool clear the decks for Isak It would take another British record sum for the Reds to land their primary No9 target this summer. Space is already being cleared in the Liverpool squad - and the budget - in order to accommodate the arrival of the Sweden international. We've seen Luis Diaz leave for around £65m - he's joined Bayern Munich - while it's anticipated that Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa and Ben Doak could be next. Arne Slot will have a remodelled frontline to work with next season - including Mo Salah, Wirtz, Ekitike and Cody Gakpo. Liverpool need to strike a deal with Newcastle Isak scored 23 Premier League goals last season and looks a sure bet to become a Liverpool transfer hit. Right now he is training away from Newcastle's base having been left out of the travelling party for the club's preseason trip to Asia. In order to successfully integrate the 25-year-old into the squad at Anfield, first a deal must be struck with Newcastle. Under contract until 2028 - Isak has no intention of signing a new deal but the Geordies are still entitled to ask for a fair sum. It's been speculated that the North East side value Isak at around £150m - and now we have an indication of how much Liverpool are willing to offer in their opening bid. Newcastle braced for Liverpool bid According to Diario AS journalist Edu Burgos, Richard Hughes is getting ready to send a £120m offer across Eddie Howe's desk. 'Newcastle awaits Liverpool's first offer for Alexander Isak,' he wrote on X. 'It is expected to be above £120 million.' After that, it will all be about negotiation. Hughes has demonstrated his credentials already this summer - reducing the outlay on Wirtz for example to beneath Leverkusen's initial €150m demands. said to be around £250k per week.

Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. Buchanan - Baywatch Villarreal announced the signing of Tajon Buchanan in Baywatch style, a famous TV show from the 80s. The hook is in the name of one of its characters: Mitch Buchannon. Burnley - "Guess who's back", TOP 5 and Walker Recently, Burnley announced the renewal of Esteve with the TOP 5 of the most important moments in recent history: after some truly memorable events (such as the announcement of the first iPhone), the club put the player's contract signing at number 1. Burnley previously announced the return of Jacob Bruun Larsen in a comic book style, using the song "Guess who's back, back again?" And at the beginning of July, the arrival of Kyle Walker was anticipated by a video that was both kitsch and nostalgic, recreating the video of the 1983 song "Hello", using the phrase "Hello, is it me you're looking for?" and transforming it into "Hello, is this the reveal you're looking for?" Genoa - Ostigard and Champagne + Colombo (Cristoforo and Tenente) Genoa always stands out on social media, and the announcements of Ostigard and Colombo were no exception. The defender was paired with the phrase "Oysters and champagne" from the song "Settimana Bianca" by Pagante. Lorenzo Colombo's face was replaced with that of Cristoforo Colombo within a painting. The player's face also took the place of that of Tenente Colombo, a famous character from an Italian TV series. Palermo - the friendly match against Manchester City Palermo posted a hint in mid-July: "A sailboat is ready to arrive in Palermo", referring to the symbol of Manchester City that would arrive in the city. The friendly match was confirmed at the end of the month with the claim "Nordic warriors": the Finnish Pohjanpalo and the Norwegian Haaland. Juventus - The frozen jersey for J. David Juventus took advantage of Jonathan David's nickname "Iceman" on several occasions. Notably, the club gave the player a frozen jersey to introduce the explanation of his nickname. Galatasaray - Osimhen and "limunat" As a teaser for Osimhen's official announcement, Galatasaray posted a video with the player's iconic mask accompanied by a particular audio: the Neapolitan version of the song "ERA - Ameno", created in 2021 and gone viral on social media. Mbeumo - farewell in Interstellar style In this case, it was Mbeumo himself who bid farewell to Brentford with a video posted on social media along with the club: a review of the best moments with Brentford in Interstellar style, complete with acting by the striker.

Liverpool rocked by rival contract offer for defender
Liverpool are facing considerable uncertainty over . The defender is out of contract in less than 12 months and so far no agreement has been reached over a new deal. If Konate and sporting director Richard Hughes cannot come to a conclusion over new terms then it is highly likely he will depart as a free agent in 2026. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Real Madrid have been the team most closely linked with the 26-year-old - who joined the Reds from RB Leipzig in 2021. Konate's situation is one reason why Liverpool have been linked with centre-backs this summer. Having sold Jarell Quansah - and with Joe Gomez injury prone - it appears that Virgil van Dijk is the ONLY central defender the club can count on with any degree of certainty up to 2027. Nathan Zeze on Liverpool radar And there are established links with Marc Guehi - who is out of contract with Crystal Palace in 2026 - while reports are also suggesting Ronald Araujo could be a target. Younger options have also been discussed in the shape of Giovanni Leoni, Joel Ordonez and Nathan Zeze. Zeze, 20, is a product of the Nantes academy who has reportedly been on the radar of the Reds for a few months now. However they will NOT be signing the France under-21 international having been blown out of the water by a contract offer from Saudi Arabia. NEOM SC sign Zeze NEOM SC - a newly-promoted Saudi Pro League team - have completed the signing of Zeze for around €25m - a sum that Liverpool could have easily afforded. But TBR Football is reporting that the Reds - and Bournemouth - opted against making a rival bid for Zeze owing to the riches laid in front of him by the Saudis. 'Liverpool have pulled out of a move for an 'incredible' replacement for Jarell Quansah due to a 'huge offer' from the Saudi Pro League,' the report reads. 'Nantes have agreed an overall deal worth €25million (£21.5million) – which in theory the European clubs would have matched. 'However, the terms on offer in Saudi have pushed him beyond what they were willing to do.'
