Liverpool remain interested in Alexander Isak after he told Newcastle that he wants to leave, while Luis Diaz is among a group of Reds stars who could be sold to fund a lucrative transfer

Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Luis Díaz missed the friendly with AC Milan due to ongoing speculation linking him with a transfer.

Talking of striker, Arsenal finally have their main target in Viktor Gyokeres after negotiations over his £64million fee were finally settled with Sporting. Gyokeres will undergo his medical today before signing a five-year contract.

Newcastle United have endured a frustrating start to the summer transfer window with just Anthony Elanga joining the club. They have seen interest in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, James Trafford and Hugo Ekitike end in disappointment with all six players moving elsewhere to Premier League rivals.

Liverpool are looking to re-ignite interest in Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon if Luis Díaz leaves this summer. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.

Hugo Ekitiké's initial price might garner interest, but being new to the Premier League casts doubt over reliability.

If any club has the funds to pull off this deal, it is Al Hilal. Not only are they one of the four clubs owned by Saudi Arabia’s Private Investment Fund (PIF), but they also benefit from the support of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who can help underwrite exceptional deals such as this one.

Liverpool's big-money investment on transfers this summer is the result of long-term planning, club CEO Billy Hogan said.

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes would love to bring Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with Rodrygo the second-choice target.
