Liverpool are almost certain to sign a striker next summer. Richard Hughes and his recruitment team are keeping tabs on several forwards before they settle on a top target for the transfer window at the end of the season.
Darwin Nunez has failed to convince anyone that he can ever become a reliable number 9 at Anfield and Diogo Jota is not seen as someone who can play consistently as the central striker.
The Merseyside giants are assessing several options and the forwards are being closely assessed as they continue to understand what kind of striker they want to sign next summer.
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield but there are suggestions that Manchester United are also interested in the Egyptian forward.
It emerged in recent weeks that Liverpool are also tracking the situation of Alexander Isak who is unhappy that Newcastle United as the club are dragging their feet on offering him a new contract.
There is now a real chance that the Swede will exit Newcastle next summer but the Magpies are looking to extract the maximum value from his sale.
Newcastle slap eyewatering price tag on Isak
Isak is expected to leave Newcastle if a new contract is not sorted out and Liverpool are amongst the Premier League clubs who want him.
There is expected to be a bevvy of clubs ready to move for him if the forward decides to leave St. James’ Park at the end of the season.
However, Newcastle are not expected to make it any easier for his suitors and will demand a massive fee before agreeing to sell him.
According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle are plotting to demand a big fee and want the bidding to start at a mammoth £115m.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The Magpies are prepared to sell him but are aware that they will need significant funds to replace a striker of Isak’s calibre.
It has been claimed that Liverpool want the big fee as they want to use the funds to secure a top-class replacement for the Swede.
Newcastle have their eyes on Gyokeres and want to use the funds from Isak’s sale to sign the Sporting Lisbon striker.
