There is now less than a month to go until the summer transfer window closes, with Liverpool still being linked with several potential new signings. The Reds have made seven new additions to their squad so far this summer and there is every possibility that more will follow.

Arne Slot and Co. are currently preparing to face Athletic Club in their pre-season double-header at Anfield on Monday. After that, attention will turn to the Community Shield against Crystal Palace next week before the Premier League opener against Bournemouth.

Liverpool have until September 1 to complete their transfer business for the summer, with the potential for more signings to be completed and departures to get over the line.

Here, the ECHO takes a look at some of the latest Liverpool transfer news and gossip that has emerged on Sunday.

Alexander Isak ‘fear’

The Mirror have reported that there is ‘fear’ from Newcastle United about a potential move from Liverpool for Alexander Isak.

The report claims that the Magpies are mindful that the Reds could return for a second bid for Isak after seeing their initial £110million offer rejected.

It has been reported that Newcastle believe Liverpool may be playing a “waiting game”, similar to when they signed Virgil van Dijk in January 2018 after first expressing an interest the previous summer.

Marc Guehi update

Liverpool have reportedly had a bid rejected by Crystal Palace for defender Marc Guehi.

According to The Mirror, the Reds made an offer worth £40million in an effort to sign Guehi, whose contract at Selhurst Park is set to expire next summer.

However, Palace are said to have turned down the bid from Liverpool, having set an asking price worth £50million for Guehi this summer.

Newcastle are also mentioned in the report as still having an interest in Guehi, but are seemingly not willing to meet Palace’s price tag.
