Focus has shifted to Sunday’s Community Shield clash with Crystal Palace at Wembley, but Liverpool’s transfer activity remains a hot topic – especially their pursuit of Alexander Isak.
The Sweden international returned to England this week after training with former club Real Sociedad while Newcastle toured in Asia.
Liverpool have already had a bid rejected, with Newcastle needing a suitable replacement before sanctioning a sale.
Their move for Benjamin Sesko fell through as the striker chose Manchester United instead.
Darwin Nunez is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia and Italy.
While Al-Hilal were reported to have agreed a deal, Liverpool have reportedly not received a bid, and he’s expected to face Palace.
DaveOCKOP exclusively revealed that Nunez is set to earn a tidy wage in Saudi Arabia.
He could earn up to £400,000-per-week over a three-year contract, which will make him one of the highest-paid strikers in world football.
Nunez played 47 games last season but started only eight times.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig are pushing to sign Harvey Elliott amid uncertainty over his game time at Anfield.
According to L’Équipe, Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola is on the radar of the Reds, having tracked the Villeurbanne-born winger for some time.
The France international has dropped to fourth in PSG’s attacking pecking order, behind Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué.
PSG, however, are not keen to sell to him this summer.
Having signed Bradley Barcola from Lyon for €50million in 2023, the French champions are unlikely to accept less than €100million from a direct Champions League rival.
Barcola racked up 64 appearances, scored 21 goals, and provided 21 assists for PSG last term as they won their first-ever Champions League title after beating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final.
