Liverpool are preparing to launch an ambitious double transfer raid this summer, with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak emerging as primary targets for new manager Arne Slot.
The Merseyside club are ready to back their new boss with significant funds as they look to rebuild their squad following Jurgen Klopp's departure. The potential double deal could exceed £150m, marking one of the most significant transfer moves of the upcoming window.
Defensive Reinforcement Priority
Guehi has been identified as the ideal candidate to strengthen Liverpool's back line. The 23-year-old England international has impressed with his commanding performances at Crystal Palace and his ability to play out from the back perfectly suits Slot's preferred style of football.
"Guehi represents exactly the type of modern centre-back Liverpool need," a source close to the negotiations revealed. "His Premier League experience and comfort with possession make him a perfect fit for Slot's system."
Attacking Firepower Needed
Alexander Isak has emerged as another key target as Liverpool seek to add more goals to their attack. The Swedish international has been in sensational form for Newcastle, scoring 21 Premier League goals last season despite the team's struggles.
Newcastle's financial situation could force them to consider offers for their prized asset, with Liverpool ready to test their resolve with a substantial bid. Isak's pace, technical ability and eye for goal have made him one of the most coveted strikers in English football.
Financial Considerations
The potential double deal would represent a significant financial outlay, but Liverpool's hierarchy are prepared to invest heavily in the squad. The possible departure of several fringe players could help fund these ambitious moves.
Both players would represent statement signings for Slot as he begins his Liverpool tenure, demonstrating the club's commitment to competing at the highest level and challenging for major honours next season.
