🚨💣 Understand Alexander Isak remains a target for Liverpool even after signing Ekitike… but depends on Newcastle.

If Newcastle open doors to an exit and #LFC sell Diaz, they can bid after direct contact made 10 days ago.

There is a big target to be achieved if we look at what Liverpool has done and is currently doing.
Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez, not to mention the goalkeeper position, show that Liverpool wants to retain the title in the 2025/26 season.
This suspicion grows stronger if the rumors about Isak resurface, especially if his statement is that Newcastle is opening the door.

Moving to Al Hilal is not a good option given the player's current form.

If Liverpool really gets Alexander Isak, I think Liverpool will truly become a more solid team in the new season. And regarding Liverpool's targets, I think that apart from wanting to defend their Premier League title, I think this team is also preparing to achieve a bigger target, namely the Champions League. And I think with the strength they have, Liverpool's chances are also quite big.

Regarding Isak, it is reported that he truly wants to move to another club, meaning he wants to leave Newcastle. It is only natural that this is what has reignited Liverpool's enthusiasm to sign this player. Even Newcastle is reportedly preparing to seek a new striker in the current transfer window. Previously, Newcastle had stated that they would not release Isak. However, it seems the player himself wants to move and seek new experiences at a new club. (Sourch)

No club is willing to pay Vlahovic's non sense salary, which is more than 300k weekly. I'd call it as dumb club who agree to pay 300k weekly for a flop striker like him. Vlahovic doesn't deserve 300k, but even 110k already overpaid for a flop striker that can do nothing like him.
If i were Milan's sporting director, i'd exclude him from team's shortlist of new striker. I have seen enough how bad he was during his time in Juve. He's not even worthy to take a look at.

yep, it was a bad gamble by the managers.
At the time it was suspected to be the next Halaand.
Young, dominant, impossible to stop.

The story told us a different thing, and now they are paying the price of it.

Hot Damn!! Liverpool got Ekitike few days ago but they're still hungry for a premier league proven striker. Thanks to the help of the glazers who've killed our club ( Manchester United ) otherwise,  we'd have gobbled on this Alexander Isak. There's nothing I can do to help or halt this from happening but I wouldn't want him to move that way. Diaz still has eyes on the move to Bayern Munich. Liverpool need get rid of both Diaz and Nunez.

What the hell is Liverpool looking for?

They just signed Ekitike as a striker, and with the amount they signed him for, he should be reliable as a top striker despite his age, and I don’t expect them to go for Alexander Isak again because Newcastle United made it clear to Liverpool that they are not ready to sell him, and that was the main reason they went further to sign Ekitike.

Liverpool should just focus on finding a replacement for Virgil Van Dijk since Konate’s future is not certain since the player is looking forward to joining Real Madrid. That is why he didn’t want to renew his contract. They need to sign a big defender that will be reliable because they can’t rely on the young defenders in their squad.

[Promocodeudo]

Hmm it seems amorin is really cooking, after making some nice signings of Mathew cuhan and mbeumo, he's now focused on a striker which sesko, Watkins and Jackson are all targets, and with the look of things I'm kind of certain sesko will be joining the red devils in no time soon and if this deal should go through mehn Manchester United will really be something else comes next season, just imagine the front line of cuhan sesko and mbeumo jeez they are really gonna Cook EPL defenders, like Truth be told Manchester United won't be an easy one comes next season if they should get sesko, and of course a better keeper then the rest is history.

They really need to get more players for him, that guy should not be under any pressure next season, I will not be happy to see him suffer the what Eric Ten Hag did to that club, he's a good coach, with hai signing suffer and the the much speculated incoming ones I think if all things go as planned, Manchester United will do well next season, honestly that la what I want, they have been in this mess for sometime and I want them back very strong, despite how bad they have become were once good although those are old glory which may not count any more but in all the English premier league needs the Manchester United we use to know no jokes.

It makes a lot of sense if Liverpool goes for Alexander Isak. Ekitike may not immediately hit the ground running. He may struggle, hence, having someone like Isak who's already established in the EPL will be the right move.

Initially, Newcastle United reported that Isak was left out of the preseason squad because of a minor injury he suffered, but it looks like he told the club he wants to leave, and that's why he was dropped. Immediately after the news of his absence from the preseason squad, it was also reported by multiple sources that he has told the club he wants to leave. Let's see how everything unfolds, but I hope Newcastle United doesn't stand in his way.

After signing Ekitike, I don't think Liverpool would still want to pursue Alexander isak, both players play the same wing and I'm not sure if they eventually sign their two with such huge amount and they would want to keep one on the bench and play the other, they would like to play the both of them at once. But from all indications, it is looking like Alexander Isak will not be coming to Liverpool. However on the flip side, he has asked Newcastle for an increase in wage, i heard is around 300k a week he's asking, this is more like since you guys are not allowing me go, you will have to pay me well.

In my opinion, if Isak officially becomes a Liverpool player, then Liverpool will be the most luxurious squad in the Premier League out of the 19 other teams.

If their only goal is to defend their Premier League title, then perhaps they shouldn't have spent so much money in this transfer window.
With the new recruits + Isak, they should be aiming for the treble in the 2025/26 season. That would be in line with the amount of money spent.

What a good player Arsenal has gotten. This is someone who has been the missing piece, Arsenal fans believed that it was a striker that has been depriving them the league, especially last season. Now let's see if they were right all along or if their club isn't as good as they all thought it to be

viktor Gyökeres is a a very good striker and it's a very good decision that Arsenal have made to sign him to the team it will help them to reduce the struggle to score goals when they are dominating in a game because they now have a good striker.  Arsenal fans are right if they pointed out that a striker made them to lose the league last season but now they have a striker I hope they don't have goal keeper issues or defense issues next season because fans are tired of them and their issues of finding it difficult to win the league when they are doing well in a season.

Is not as if they are just going to pick the titles now that Viktor Gyökeres has joined their team. The possibilities of other challenges coming up in their team is still very high, because as they are recruiting, other teams are also recruiting very actively. Look at a team like Liverpool who has smashed lots of money on players. Look at Manchester city, Chelsea these clubs are recruiting actively. So Arsenal fans should have it in mind that Viktor Gyökeres has only come to do the role of a striker. The team has to play well in all areas to stand a chance of winning titles. Viktor Gyökeres alone won't give them the trophy they are desperately looking for. So this is the time for them to get whoever they know can help them. Be it in defence, midfield or goalkeeper.

I can't help but wonder why no other European club decided to spend money for Osimhen: is it because the way it ended with Napoli? Is it because he was asking for too much money? Is it a problem with his agents? He's a great striker, he has the same age of Gyökeres and yet it looks like European football forgot about him, it's kind of weird, there must be some problem somewhere, I just wonder what it is.

The reason is simple, Osimhen's wage. His transfer fees ain't the problem, but his wage is too big. His weekly wage was 300k per-week, and adding him to the big club squad can burdening that club. It makes that club may be violating the PSR rules.

Things worsen when he demands higher wage than what he received from Napoli, but Galatasaray is the only club that can afford him 340k per week. So, that's why other big clubs moved away from him.

If the problem was only the wage than it would mean that Osimhen cares more about the money rather than glory (and there is nothing wrong with that) but it that case he could have simply accepted the offers he received from Saudi Arabia, way more money than Turkey. I don't know, maybe at the end he really likes Galatasaray, Istanbul is a pretty cool city, it makes sense but I keep wondering if there is something else. United and Arsenal absolutely need a striker, Chelsea too, and for sure they could offer a lot of money to the club and the player as well.

[bitgolden]

I am not sure man, Diogo Costa is a 25 year old great goalkeeper and if they can turn him into their main goalkeeper than that would be awesome. But he has been at Porto since he was a little kid, so we have no clue how he will be outside of his team, if we think we are going to see how things can change, then we are going to end up with a goalkeeper who used to be great where he was, but then became bad when he moved.

I believe that is a risk, when a player moves a few teams and do the same everywhere then I get it, that makes sense, you can buy him, but if he has been at the same club for 10+ years and nowhere else? That seems like a risk and I am pretty sure City is taking a risk. He does worth 60 though, I will give him that.

[SatoPrincess]

Do you think Manchester United can compete with Arsenal in the new season? In my opinion, it is impossible at the moment, there is a gap between the levels of the teams. Arsenal was strong enough without these transfers, and Manchester United seems to be in a very bad state and these few transfers are attempts to level the situation a little. So I do not expect any reaction from Manchester United to this transfer.

I don’t think Manchester United are capable of competing with Arsenal but the transfer window is still open and United have opportunity to further improve their squad for the coming season. I hear they are interested in adding Benjamin Sesko or Nicolas Jackson to their team this summer and if that happens they will have a strong attack capable of facing even the best of EPL clubs next season.

To be honest, I don't know where Liverpool got so much money, but Alexander Isak would be better transfer than Wirtz or Ekitike.
Isak is a magnificent striker who has performed excellently in the EPL, scoring more than 20 goals in the last two seasons, and the only thing that could deter Liverpool is the high transfer fee of £120-130 million.
However, Ben Jacobs writes that Liverpool is ready to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern for £80 million, which means Liverpool could find the money for Isak.

[Donneski]

This morning, I read a report on popular sports journalist Fabrizio Romano's page that "Alejandro Garnacho is one of the main options on Chelsea's list". The Argentine winger I know fell out with the club manager last season and publicly made statements that suggests he wants a move away from Old Trafford but for club like Chelsea who are currently going for the best players, I doubt they'll prioritize Garnacho at the moment. Below is my conclusion of about the report:

Is he a good player? Yes

Does he have issues with Amorim? Yes

Is he on Man United's unwanted player lists? Yes

Is he an option for Chelsea? Yes

Is he a priority for Chelsea? I doubt.

[Velvet78]

Bayern Munich is still decisive on Luis Díaz deal indeed!  

Previously they sent an offer like 67.5 million euros if I remember correctly. But Liverpool turned it down. I didn't expect the German side to go way over this fee honestly. You know them. They only pay a huge sum for special players. Such as they did with Kane.

Díaz is also a really good player for sure. But is he really worth 70+ million? At the age of 28? I don't think so...

We know Liverpool have transformed from investment mode to fight mode so don't be surprised if they bring in new players with expensive labels. Several sources say that Liverpool's income continues to increase every season the same thing happens to their expenses this means they have calculated before making a decision when recruiting players. Did you know that Liverpool is in 5th place as the club with the most expensive squad value? so if they want to bring in new players then they can release other players well in this case as you said Luis Diaz is ready to be released to cover expenses.

Both clubs must surly put things in place that will enable them to have a remarkable next season and yeah Manchester needed have tried in the last season to recover with the way they were able to put in effort to get the previously signed players in use and the result recorded thos shows that of the club put in more efforts to bring in more good players the faith of the club will really change for the better.

Arsenal already have a good lineup of players their want to bring into their fold, bit then the problem that will bring limitations to that is lack of availability of funds to support their desires.

Liverpool are still going for Isak after Hugo?   this is serious, I was thinking after spending heavily on Hugo they'll pause for this window never new they're still in the process of adding more players to their team, I'm just wondering how they want to use both players cause their current formation won't permit them to use to top 9's expect they want to adjust it to feature both players in the starting eleven.

 Concerning Al Hilal I don't think a player like Isak should even consider that, it's better to remain at Newcastle than to move to the Saudi League so early, just can't wait to see if his next destination would be Liverpool.

[asriloni]

United and Arsenal absolutely need a striker, Chelsea too, and for sure they could offer a lot of money to the club and the player as well.

Bro Osimhen wanted to stay in europe, but he also demands improved wage. Chelsea ever try to poached him in the past, but he rejected it as they can only offer 150k - 190k range. If he could decrease his wage, and believe me, so many big clubs would be competing to sign him. He's now the highest paid player in the turkish league.

[dezoel]

Milan - Vlahovic can be done.
Vlahovic will most likely leave juventus in this session.
The deal can be discussed in the next week, the problem is the big salary of the player for Ac Milan.
Some players could enter in the deal to cut the expense for Milan.
Big L for Juventus.

This all depends on vlahovic. He is getting paid a ton at Juventus, and if he wants to leave, he will not get the same salary anywhere else, nobody (aside from Saudis probably) will pay him that much. So if he really wants to leave, to Milan or wherever else. Then they need to make sure that he is getting paid what he is worth, and not more.

So if Vlahovic wants to leave, he needs to accept a lower salary, and play for less, for a chance to earn more in the future when he proves himself again, or just not and fail. But if he insists on getting paid the same money, then he will be just a bench player for Juventus, the unwanted person, and not play much for a whole year, and that's what they are going to face for a long time, until his contract runs out.
