Liverpool are preparing a sensational £150m transfer raid in the final days of the summer window, targeting Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. The Reds believe Newcastle could soften their stance if Wolves release Jørgen Strand Larsen, while Palace face pressure with Guehi entering the final year of his contract.
Liverpool are preparing to make a huge statement before the transfer window slams shut, with reports suggesting the club is ready to launch a £150 million double move for Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi.
The Reds’ long-standing interest in Isak has been one of the defining sagas of the summer. Newcastle have stood firm, demanding their full valuation of around £150m for the Swedish striker, but with time running out, Liverpool are believed to be intensifying their efforts to strike a deal.
Isak deal hinges on Newcastle’s striker hunt
A potential breakthrough could depend on Newcastle’s pursuit of Wolves forward Jørgen Strand Larsen. The Magpies have already seen a £55m bid rejected but remain hopeful of reaching an agreement. Should they succeed in bringing the Norwegian to St James’ Park, it could pave the way for Isak’s exit — a situation Liverpool are closely monitoring.
Guehi on Reds’ radar as defensive reinforcement
While Isak dominates the headlines, Marc Guehi has also emerged as a major target for Arne Slot’s side. Crystal Palace value the England international at around £40m, but with just a year left on his contract, the Eagles may have to compromise on their asking price. Liverpool are increasingly confident of landing Guehi, bolstering a backline that still requires depth and long-term stability.
Growing pressure on Isak and Newcastle
Isak’s relationship with Newcastle has reportedly soured in recent weeks, with suggestions that he has “broken promises” in pushing for a move. Many supporters have been left frustrated, while Liverpool sense an opportunity to test Newcastle’s resolve one final time before the window closes.
The bigger picture
For Liverpool, this potential double swoop represents more than just squad reinforcement — it’s a clear sign of ambition under Arne Slot, ensuring the club keeps pace with Manchester City and Arsenal at the top end of the Premier League. If successful, the addition of Isak and Guehi could transform Liverpool’s attack and defence in one bold stroke.
