Liverpool will step up their pursuit of Newcastle's superstar striker Alexander Isak imminently, after agreeing a deal with Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz.

Liverpool are looking to re-ignite interest in Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon if Luis Díaz leaves this summer. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.

Liverpool fans are convinced they already have an ideal replacement for Luis Diaz at Anfield after seeing their team in friendly action against AC Milan on Saturday. Arne Slot’s Reds took on Massimiliano Allegri’s Rossoneri at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Sports Park in the 12:30pm BST kick-off.

At present, Diaz continues to train normally and remains part of the pre-season tour. Whether Bayern’s improved offer finally matches Liverpool’s valuation remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Rodrygo will not be part of the solution.

Liverpool chief Michael Edwards and his love for ‘financial statements’ could ‘pose a problem’ for Bayern Munich in their pursuit of Luis Diaz, according to reports. The Reds have been busy in the transfer market this summer with FSG backing Arne Slot after the Dutchman won the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield.

Liverpool are among a host of clubs who have enquired about young Senegal striker Idrissa Gueye. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.
