6 transfers that still need to be done including Alexander Isak to Liverpool

1 day ago 7

As we approach the final week of the summer transfer window, several significant deals are still in the pipeline.

However, some loose ends are being tied up, with Eberechi Eze being the latest player to secure his move after joining Arsenal. After two weeks of Premier League action, teams now have a clearer picture of their needs.

Indeed, some clubs that were content with their early August dealings are now realizing that further work may be required. Last season's champion, Liverpool, sailed to the title with minimal expenditure, but this term has seen a shift. The Reds shattered their transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz, and they might not be finished yet.

So, what other moves might we witness before the transfer window closes? Here, we provide a glimpse at six potential deals that could still materialize.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle to Liverpool)

As Newcastle gears up to host Liverpool on Monday, much of the chatter will revolve around Alexander Isak. The forward insists his time on Tyneside is over, though it would require a league record bid for Liverpool to lure him to Anfield.

"What I can tell you is not a lot. And if someone else is going to ask that question, it is going to be the same answer," Slot told reporters on Thursday.

"As I have said so many times, and it has been shown, I could even impact the game on Friday with the players we had on the bench. It would be much nicer to talk about the players that we have. I understand why you have to ask the question."

Alejandro Garnacho (Man Utd to Chelsea)

Chelsea's talks regarding an Alejandro Garnacho transfer seem to have made progress, particularly in terms of convincing the player himself. However, the situation becomes more complex when discussing the transfer fee.

The Blues are understood to rate the winger at approximately £25 million (£33.8 million). United continue to demand a higher sum, though - even if the £70 million ($94.7 million) figure mentioned in January would prove unrealistic.

Previously, Chelsea waited until the final moments to secure Jadon Sancho on loan from United. This deal could follow a similar pattern and reach the deadline.

Jadon Sancho (Man Utd to Roma)

Reports earlier in the transfer window suggested that Sancho had rejected Roma's advances. However, the club's manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, has refuted these claims.

Bayern Munich has also been mentioned as potential suitors for the winger, though German media indicates this move may not materialize. Despite Bayern losing Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman this summer, the German team appears to be pursuing alternative targets rather than Sancho.

After being left out of Manchester United's pre-season tour, Sancho's future at Old Trafford seems uncertain. The question now is where he might end up next.

Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG to Manchester City)

As Manchester United is closing in on Senne Lammens, it appears that Donnarumma won't be heading to Old Trafford this summer. However, the Italian could still make a move to the Premier League.

Manchester City has already brought in one keeper this summer, with James Trafford returning to the club. Despite a shaky game against Spurs on Saturday, which cost his team a goal, he seems like a promising prospect for both the present and future.

However, City could potentially sell two keepers in the coming week, leaving them in need of another new face. If Ederson and Stefan Ortega both depart, Donnarumma may well find himself competing with Trafford for a starting spot.

Rasmus Hojlund (Man Utd to Napoli)

AC Milan's pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund may be back on track after Victor Boniface failed a medical for a move to San Siro. However, Milan is not the only Serie A side interested.

Napoli has funds after selling Victor Osimhen over the summer. Kevin De Bruyne has already joined on a free transfer, and now it's time to find someone for the Belgian to assist.

According to reports in Italy, former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has been trying to persuade Hojlund to make a move to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. This is certainly one to watch.

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace to Liverpool)

We circle back to Liverpool. The Reds were found wanting at the back against Bournemouth in their league opener, and Giovanni Leoni, who signed on the day of that match, might not be the only center-back to join this month.

Crystal Palace skipper Guehi has long been on Liverpool's radar, and he is now entering the final year of his contract in South London. Liverpool's initial offers didn't meet Palace's valuation, but it remains to be seen whether that price will be lowered to ensure he doesn't run down his contract and leave for free next summer.

Meanwhile, Guehi has remained the club's captain. He hasn't missed a single minute of play this season, featuring in both league matches and aiding Oliver Glasner's team to secure a 1-0 victory in the first leg of the Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad.
