Isak poised for Liverpool switch on frantic Premier League deadline day

Alexander Isak is on the brink of a British-record £125 million ($169 million) move to Liverpool from Newcastle on a frantic final day of the Premier League transfer window.

Text size:

The Sweden striker is understood to have arrived at the club's training ground on Monday as a protracted saga nears its end.

With the Premier League window due to shut at 1800 GMT, there are a number of big deals yet to be done as clubs scramble to strengthen.

Sky Sports reported that Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign Brentford forward Yoane Wissa while Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is set for a move to Manchester City after being told he was surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain.

Struggling Manchester United are understood to have agreed a deal to sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for an initial 21 million euros (£18 million, $24.6 million) as they seek to address their goalkeeping problems.

But all eyes will be on the expected finalising of Isak's move to Liverpool.

The 25-year-old has made clear his desire to leave Newcastle even though he has three years remaining on his contract.

The Anfield club had a £110 million offer for the forward rejected last month and since then he has not trained with or played for Newcastle.

Isak is set to become Liverpool's eighth first-team signing of the summer window, marking the second time they have broken their own transfer record following the capture of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial fee of £100 million.

The club's outlay now stands at an eye-watering figure of around £416 million, though there have also been significant departures including Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Arne Slot's side, who beat Arsenal 1-0 on Sunday to maintain their perfect Premier League record this season, are also reportedly chasing Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi.

Newcastle last week signed German international striker Nick Woltemade for a club-record fee reported to be worth up to £69 million.

That paved the way for the potential departure of Isak, who scored 27 goals for Eddie Howe's team in all competitions last season.

The Magpies have further strengthened their attack with the arrival of Wissa, who on Sunday urged Brentford to "keep their word" and allow him to leave.

Now it appears the DR Congo forward, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season, has his wish, giving Saudi-owned Newcastle extra firepower as they prepare for their Champions League campaign.

- Donnarumma to City? -

Donnarumma, who won the Champions League with PSG in May, is poised for a move to City, with the Premier League club understood to have agreed a fee of around 35 million euros.

Ederson, City's long-serving Brazilian goalkeeper, is understood to be on the radar of Turkish side Fenerbahce.

United have paid the price for poor starts to the season for goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.

The club had been linked with Aston Villa and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who was not included in Villa's matchday squad for their 3-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

But they appear to have opted for the potential of Lammens over the experience of the World Cup-winning Martinez.

United are also understood to have agreed a deal with Real Betis for the Spanish club to sign unwanted Brazil winger Antony.

Sky Sports reported that Unai Emery's Villa have agreed a deal to sign United winger Jadon Sancho on loan.

The 25-year-old has flopped since making a £73 million move to Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 and spent last season at Chelsea on loan.

Villa are also expected to tie up a loan deal for Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott, who would likely have struggled for game time at Anfield.

Tottenham have reportedly agreed a season-long loan deal to sign PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani.
