Liverpool continue to push for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak after seeing a £120 million bid rejected. The Merseyside club initially submitted a £110 million offer, which was turned down, before returning with an improved proposal that also failed to secure the Swedish international's services.
The Reds are reportedly willing to walk away from the deal, but according to the Daily Mail, they intend to make another bid once Newcastle make progress on signing a replacement. The Magpies are pursuing RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, having lodged a £70 million offer, and are also interested in Brentford's Yoane Wissa.
Newcastle are preparing contingency plans in case Isak departs, while Liverpool are undergoing a significant squad overhaul this summer. The Anfield club have already sold Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz, and further outgoings are possible, with youngsters Luca Stephenson, James McConnell and Lewis Koumas attracting interest from Championship and League One clubs.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min is set to leave the club after 10 years, potentially freeing up funds for Spurs to reinvest. Elsewhere, West Ham have completed the signing of striker Callum Wilson on a one-year deal following his departure from Newcastle, with manager Graham Potter praising the forward's character and work ethic.
Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Real Madrid's Brahim Diaz, with the Spanish giants open to selling the 24-year-old. New manager Xabi Alonso has reportedly told Diaz he would only have a secondary role next season, prompting interest from AC Milan, Fenerbahce and Saudi Pro League sides.
