Liverpool’s summer rebuild is now fully underway.
The window reopened on Monday, and Anfield’s recruitment team is wasting no time getting to work.
Deals are already in motion, and more are expected in the coming weeks.
Liverpool know this summer is not about standing still. It’s about pushing forward in a league where rivals are strengthening.
Manchester City themselves have made notable signings this window.
Arsenal are improving with each window.
Newcastle United and Aston Villa are now regular top-four contenders.
And Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are showing ambition again.
In this climate, Liverpool can’t afford to slip.
Especially in attack, where questions now surround several big names.
There’s serious interest from Italy and Saudi Arabia in key forwards like Dawrin Nunez and Federico Chiesa.
And while no major exits are guaranteed yet, the club is already preparing for what might come next.
Liverpool are looking closely at two strikers as potential additions.
The club are huge fans of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.
He fits the profile of a modern centre-forward — quick, technical, and Premier League-proven.
However, any move will come at a cost.
Isak has been valued at £85million and beyond by Newcastle, who are not keen on selling unless forced by financial regulations.
The second striker being monitored is Hugo Ekitike, who recently moved to Eintracht Frankfurt from PSG.
Ekitike is seen as a long-term project with plenty of upside.
Like Isak, though, his club has placed a high valuation on him — again £85million and beyond.
Ian Doyle of Liverpool Echo reported, “Liverpool are huge fans of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and are monitoring the situation of Hugo Ekitike at Eintracht Frankfurt, although both have initially been valued at £85m and beyond.”
The interest comes at a time when Darwin Nunez is attracting long-term attention from the Saudi Pro League, while Federico Chiesa is open to a return to Italy with Napoli keen.
Luis Diaz is also on the radar of Barcelona and clubs in the Middle East.
However, Diaz would be happy to stay at Liverpool and has two years left on his current deal.
The club’s approach is clear.
They won’t sell unless replacements are lined up.
Any significant attacking departures will only happen “dependent on reinforcements being targeted, particularly in the number nine role.”
