Liverpool is reportedly preparing to make another attempt to acquire Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak as the transfer window approaches its closing date. The move comes after the two teams face off on Monday. Earlier this month, Liverpool submitted a substantial bid of £110 million for the 25-year-old forward, which Newcastle rejected. Following the failed attempt, Isak indicated on social media that “the relationship can’t continue,” leading to speculation about his future with the club.
In response to Liverpool’s interest, Newcastle is bracing for another bid as the transfer window nears its end. Isak has not featured in any matches this season, suggesting that his situation at the club may be untenable. Despite this, Liverpool is also considering focusing on younger talent, particularly Rio Ngumoha, a promising 16-year-old winger, instead of pursuing high-profile targets like Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain or Malick Fofana from Lyon.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur is actively working on its own transfer strategy, setting its sights on Savinho, a winger from Manchester City. Reports indicate that Spurs are preparing a £60 million offer for the 21-year-old, who is eager to join the North London club. The success of this deal will largely depend on the final offer presented to City.
In addition to their pursuit of Savinho, Tottenham’s earlier bid of €70 million for Nico Paz, a midfielder from Como, was turned down. Paz, 20, has expressed a desire to remain with his current club, eyeing a potential return to Real Madrid next year when a re-signing clause is set to activate.
The transfer landscape is further complicated by other clubs eyeing high-value signings. Manchester City, according to The Daily Star, may enter the fray to sign center-back Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace. Guéhi, who has just one year left on his contract, is already attracting interest from Liverpool, Tottenham, and Barcelona. City views him as a valuable addition at a price of around £35 million should they choose to pursue him.
Another significant player in the transfer market is former Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté, who may leave Al Ittihad after two years. Reports from Footmercato suggest he has been offered to various Ligue 1 clubs, including AS Monaco and Paris FC. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, Kanté’s next move will be closely monitored by France’s national team manager Didier Deschamps.
In Italy, AC Milan is reportedly interested in signing midfielder Adrien Rabiot from Marseille after the player was placed on the transfer list following an altercation with a teammate. Rabiot’s situation may lead to Yunus Musah departing from Milan to create room for the French international. Rabiot is also being pursued by Internazionale and Juventus, but Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri is keen to reunite with the midfielder.
Other notable transfer rumors include Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United, who is reportedly in discussions with Napoli. Tottenham and Aston Villa are monitoring West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá, while Arsenal is closing in on a record transfer for 16-year-old midfielder Victor Ozhianvuna from Shamrock Rovers.
As the transfer window speeds towards its conclusion, clubs across Europe are making decisive moves to secure key players while navigating the complexities of negotiations and club interests. With significant sums at stake and critical decisions looming, the coming days promise to be pivotal for many teams and players alike.
