With just over a week left before the summer transfer window shuts, Liverpool could still be in for more action.
The Reds have already welcomed eight new faces this summer and might add to that tally before the 1 September deadline. Arne Slot and his team are currently gearing up to take on Newcastle United in next week’s Monday Night Football Premier League clash.
After their triumphant start against Bournemouth, Liverpool are keen to bag another three points. Off the pitch, the Reds continue to be linked with a host of potential new recruits.
There’s also chatter about some players who might be saying their goodbyes to Anfield before the deadline. Here, we delve into some of the freshest Liverpool transfer news and gossip from the past 24 hours.

There’s been an update on Alexander Isak’s reported eagerness to don the Liverpool jersey. Caught Offside claims that Isak is “pushing hard” to seal a move to Anfield before the transfer window slams shut.
This follows Isak’s lengthy social media post on Tuesday night addressing the ongoing rumours surrounding his future, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign Isak this summer after months of speculation about the Swedish international’s future.

RB Leipzig are said to still be keen on snapping up Harvey Elliott from Liverpool.
Sky Germany’s correspondent Florian Plettenberg has reported that Leipzig have pinpointed Elliott as a prime target for the summer transfer window, as they prepare to replace Xavi Simons, who is increasingly expected to sign with Chelsea.
It’s been reported that Elliott has already agreed terms for a move to Leipzig, but Liverpool still need to negotiate a fee with the Bundesliga club.
Liverpool’s Marc Guehi plan

Liverpool are looking to step up their pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
The defender is not expected to sign an extension – and the ball is now in the Eagles court if they wish to cash in on his this summer. There’s also the distraction of the Eberechi Eze transfer saga, who the playmaker is set to join Arsenal after choosing them over Tottenham.
Palace have been scouring the market for new faces, having been left in the frustrating position of potentially losing two key men just days into the new season.
