Liverpool is poised to finalize a deal for Alexander Isak after the forward undergoes a medical in Liverpool on Monday, perhaps pushing the club’s summer transfer spending to nearly €500 million. Isak is expected to sign a six-year contract.
The potential acquisition of Isak follows Liverpool’s earlier signings of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitiké, beating out Newcastle United for both players. Liverpool is also reportedly pursuing Crystal Palace central defender Marc Guéhi, a transfer that could cost a double-digit million euro sum. Today is the final day of the transfer window, adding urgency to the potential moves.
Borussia Dortmund exercised its purchase option for Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka, transferring €20 million to the London club.
