Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is at the top of the wishlist after a 27-goal season, but his £150m–£200m valuation and long-term contract until 2028 make the deal extremely difficult.
Newcastle are reportedly preparing a new contract offer to keep him at St James’ Park.
Despite recent reports from Portugal suggesting Liverpool are targeting Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, TNT Sports has dismissed those claims, confirming that Liverpool have no current interest in the Swedish forward.
Gyokeres is pushing to leave Sporting and has clashed with the club’s president, but Manchester United remain the more likely suitor.
Meanwhile, Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike has also emerged as an option, with Sky Germany stating he’s under serious consideration.
However, Liverpool’s next striker move will only be made after Nunez’s departure is finalized, reports Mirror.
So far, the Reds have signed Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez to reinforce their squad.
Sporting director Richard Hughes is actively working on more deals as Arne Slot prepares his squad for a new era.
