Liverpool are targeting Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi as late transfer priorities. Isak has expressed a desire to leave St James' Park after publicly criticising his treatment at the club. Isak's transfer fee is expected to be very high, likely above £120m and possibly near £150m. Guehi appears more affordable, with a likely fee around £30m because he is in the final year of his contract. Liverpool have already signed Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez this summer. The club aims to retain the Premier League title and compete in major competitions.
According to Sky Sports and others, the Reds are focusing on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace centre-back as their top targets. Isak has been linked with Liverpool for much of the summer, though Newcastle obviously don't want to sell their star player. Still, the Sweden international is pushing to leave St James' Park, having released a public statement criticising how he's been treated by the club.
Still, it seems they're not done yet and it could be that both Isak and Guehi could soon follow the list of big-name arrivals into Anfield. It won't be easy, however, with Isak's asking price likely to be set at over 120m, possibly even close to 150m. Guehi, meanwhile, should be a little easier as he's likely to cost more like 30m due to being in the final year of his Palace contract.
