Liverpool Transfer Rumours

17 Jun 2025 22:58:53
Getting very, very positive noise on the Isak front at the moment.

As I've been saying for a few weeks now, Isak's head has been turned, he wants to come to Liverpool. But Newcastle are now resigned to losing him this summer.

They had hoped to keep him another season, hoping the idea of a champions league run would entice him to give them one more year to plan for a future without him, but what I'm hearing is that Richard Hughes has made it very clear, it's now or never. Hughes told Newcastle that Isak is our first choice, but that if they won't sell, he's going straight to Frankfurt to buy Ekitike, widely regarded as "the next Isak". I'm told Newcastle were inclined to call his bluff, but Isak does not want to miss this chance, and he has essentially asked Newcastle to let him go.
To be clear, (to the best of my knowledge) Isak has not formally handed in an official transfer request, but I am being told that he HAS asked Newcastle to facilitate a sale to Liverpool this summer, and it does appear that they have agreed to do business.

The belief within Liverpool is now that the deal will happen. Newcastle have just asked for the time to secure a replacement first, and Liverpool have obliged, similar to how they afforded Bournemouth the time to finalise the deal for Truffert before completing the Kerkez deal.

Newcastle's move for Joao Pedro is progressing well. I'm told the deal will be done for a fee in the region of £60million in the coming weeks. Joao Pedro's camp have received clear assurances that he will be the starting striker. As I understand it, there is zero chance that Joao Pedro joins Newcastle and Isak stays at the club. Which means once the Pedro deal has been completed, Isak to Liverpool will move quickly.

The actual fee for Isak is yet to be agreed, but there is mutual understanding that an agreement will be reached, similar to the Wirtz deal. The player wants the move, Liverpool are willing to pay big money, and Newcastle are resigned to losing him, and so it is just a matter of settling on a number and structuring the payment and add ons. All in all, the total package is expected to be in the region of £130 million, but Liverpool have not ruled out paying a higher figure for more favourable payment terms. It also being discussed for Newcastle to take one or two players going the opposite way. I've reported previously of their interest in Jota, Gomez, Quansah and Bradley. Liverpool have again said that Bradley is not for sale, but the other 3 are firmly on the table. Any deal will be done separately for accounting purposes.

But regardless of whether they end up buying anyone from us, I am confident in saying: all going to plan, Alexander Isak will be a Liverpool player next season.

17 Jun 2025 23:20:51
Sounds plausible to me and I expect it will be done from July onwards to count for next year's psr. Giving Newcastle time will allow us time to move on Nunez and see if Rob is moves on to. Don't think they will take Gomez but Elliot or Quansah perhaps.

17 Jun 2025 23:22:56
Wow dude.
Liverpool fans with a perma stiffy all season if this materialises 😅

Thanks for sharing.

17 Jun 2025 23:26:39
Omfg this is starting to get real now. Wow what an unbelievable transfer this will be if it all goes to plan.

17 Jun 2025 23:27:58
Call me an old sceptic but I can't see it happening.
It would be very nice, though.

17 Jun 2025 23:34:36
Holy f*cking moly.

17 Jun 2025 23:34:37
Thanks RedNotice, always good to read your posts :)

17 Jun 2025 23:49:42
Have barely came to terms with the wirtz deal and was taking 4 pairs of trunks to work for that. Don't do this me mate il be handing my notice in.

18 Jun 2025 00:01:00
Red notice, if you are a bluffer, you are one of the best around. No idea if any of this is one bit true but my god I like how it's written.

18 Jun 2025 00:09:00
Its a lot of money for a player who has injury issues and doesn’t track back. Newcastle seem to keep him wrapped in cotton wool when he plays. Don’t get me wrong, he is a superb player but its a gamble and not worth risking 130m. If we could get a hard-working Martinez for around half that price it makes more sense to me.

18 Jun 2025 00:24:44
I'll take it if we get him but I agree with Darwins Evolution, it's a lot for a player that gets injured so much. I'd much rather take Alvarez (if possible) or wouldn't mind someone like Martinez/ Retegui for like £50-60m.

My guess is they take Quansah if someone's going the opposite way.

See what happens.

18 Jun 2025 00:59:19
I think I’d prefer Martinez too but I may have been brainwashed that Isak is always injured. MK- can you provide some stats and set my mind at rest that Isak isn't a sicknote?

18 Jun 2025 01:11:27
You’re an old sceptic @Rigsby -sorry I just love stupid old jokes (Tommy Cooper is one of my heroes.

18 Jun 2025 01:16:28
You are saying things I want to hear so I am choosing to believe you.

17 Jun 2025 21:25:27
Seems West Brom are in for Nat Phillips, he's in last year of his contract so maybe 6-8 million. Can't see it any higher than that, we should accept and let get his career going.

17 Jun 2025 21:44:05
We have always priced him way too high. £2m seems reasonable now.

17 Jun 2025 21:53:14
We realy should have sold him years ago.

17 Jun 2025 21:56:47
We will get more than two.

17 Jun 2025 22:03:29
6-8 million? You having a laugh? markp08 is about right with his evaluation I reckon.

17 Jun 2025 22:10:11
One of the most aerially dominant defenders i’ve ever seen, super strong, good positioning, decent tackler. Used to be terrible on the ball but he’s much better. Only negative and probably the only reason why we aren’t looking to keep him is because he’s not the quickest. He’s not slow but he’s not fast and that’s a problem for us.

I’d rather have Big Nat than Quansah any day. Hemis attitude is terrific. In the games he’s played for us, esp against Bolton and Milan, he was like a super Carragher at times. Never gets beaten in the air. Respect to him.

17 Jun 2025 22:22:45
Feel sorry for the guy having that Amadan as a father in law 😆. On a serious note tho that turn in the box in Milan was something else looking back.

17 Jun 2025 22:34:20
I thought his contract ended this season. Do we still own him? My god. At least he gets paid well.

17 Jun 2025 22:39:32
Just let the lad go for free.

17 Jun 2025 22:40:46
We won't even get two, Quansah is a better player than Phillips all day long. I can see why people on here have always liked him, he'd throw his head at a Rhino but the same people used to want the club to turn down 20 million and play him next to Virg. Crazy talk.

17 Jun 2025 22:46:36
Is Phillips still classed as a youth team prospect? Must be in his late 30’s by now. 46 loans later….

17 Jun 2025 22:54:37
He’s like Geri Halliwell. Still down as 28, despite being 29 twenty-odd years ago.

17 Jun 2025 22:59:10
I really wish that Jurgen had of given Nat a go sooner in 21 when we ran out of centrebacks and, instead of putting Fab and Hendo there. Him and Rhys with Fab in front of them and who knows what could of been.

17 Jun 2025 23:21:56
He's out of contract in June when his loan officially ends. It's Williams who's here until 2026.

17 Jun 2025 23:34:07
Perhaps we kept him for so long because we didn't want him running his contract down and leaving for nowt.
As we are a 'have to sell to buy club' a fee for Phillips could go towards buying Isak.

18 Jun 2025 01:01:45
Nat is my favourite ever Liverpool player.

17 Jun 2025 20:38:33
Hello all,

There will be 2 big steps next week.

1. Sorting Konate's contract out which I believe we will.

2. Working out a deal for Alexander Isak.

If step 2 is unachievable we will swiftly move to option B for striker, .

We won't waste time on something if it can't be achieved.

I am quietly confident something can be done.


Ta.

17 Jun 2025 20:56:32
Wow carra . This is mental news hope you’re right . If that’s the case I’d suggest we are going to concentrate on sales then surely 😂😂😂.

17 Jun 2025 21:06:53
Cheers, Carra. You’re far better at passing on rumours than you were at marking Thierry Henry.

17 Jun 2025 21:07:03
That would be pretty special window if we get both sorted. Cheers Carra
Up the pool.

17 Jun 2025 21:09:35
Do you think we will do the Isak deal Carra? If not who?

17 Jun 2025 21:13:06
I pray we can get deal sorted for an out and out striker. Made such positive strides and I think we would be so dangerous with a front man that bury the chances provided.

17 Jun 2025 21:13:35
Cheers for the update. Whois option B? Presumably Martinez? Or someone else?

17 Jun 2025 21:13:51
Thanks for the info mate. Who’s the option B is it martinez or Ekitike?

17 Jun 2025 21:15:08
Konate contract would be awesome. That would be amazing if it gets sorted next week.

If we get a player like Isak for CF as well then my god. What a transfer season.

17 Jun 2025 21:32:00
Cheers Carra/ Macca let's hope the quietly confident bit is about getting Isak (although hopefully Konate signs a new deal too) 🤞🏻🤞🏻.

17 Jun 2025 21:34:45
Cheers Carra, you got anything on Fofana? Cracking player and sounds very keen to play for Liverpool.

17 Jun 2025 22:04:48
Hope your right Carra I would love Isak our frontline would be frightening and the thought of Salah leaving in the future would not feel so daunting.
If they take Jota as part of the deal that would be amazing.

17 Jun 2025 22:47:39
Wow so hope you’re right on this Carra it would be amazing! Best transfer season in the history of the club! What a forward line we would have next season! So hope we can keep Konate too - I don’t fancy losing 3 of our champion winning back line in one close season.
Thanks again for the info Carra - if you are indeed the old Macca that I used to love reading the posts from that’s great too!

17 Jun 2025 22:51:56
Imagine getting Wirtz, Isak and Fofana.

17 Jun 2025 22:56:24
Thanks for this Carra, hope both of these are sorted next week.

17 Jun 2025 23:40:02
Isak is OBVIOUSLY incredible but I was starting to worry that Konate was trying to leave on a free so that's great that you're positive. thanks for passing on the news.

18 Jun 2025 00:37:24
From Henry - you (Carra) stopped me far more times than I beat you. But all I need is one, and that is what everyone remembers

:D.
