Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Luis Díaz missed the friendly with AC Milan due to ongoing speculation linking him with a transfer.

Alexander Isak is now one of the most sought-after players of the summer. While Newcastle is eager to keep their star striker, both Liverpool and Al Hilal are ready to break transfer records to sign him.

Bayern can sit and wait for Liverpool to lower their price, perhaps growing increasingly desperate for cash to fund a move for Isak. In turn, Liverpool have suffered a blow in hopes of receiving their full asking price of £80m and the knock-on effects could spill into the Isak contract stand-off saga.

CLUBS are splashing the cash this summer as they look to bolster their squads in the transfer window ahead of the new season! Alexander Isak has dropped a bombshell by telling Newcastle he wants

Fofana, who has already attracted interest from Liverpool and Bayern Munich, is one of Lyon’s more valuable assets and now sits firmly on Everton’s radar. The Merseyside club are looking to bolster their wide options and see the versatile attacker as a key addition ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Atalanta have set their sights on Liverpool's Federico Chiesa. The Italian outfit are currently finalising the exit of Ademola Lookman, who has been in talks with Inter Milan. If Lookman departs, Atalanta are prepared to consider making a formal approach for Chiesa, who ranks high on their list of attacking targets, according to The Mirror.

Everton have reportedly made a surprise offer worth €36m (£31.5m) plus add-ons to sign Chelsea and Liverpool transfer target Malick Fofana. The Toffees could reach an agreement with French club Lyon ‘fairly quickly’ in a stunning transfer twist, French outlet L’Equipe reported on Saturday.

Al-Hilal have reportedly offered Alexander Isak a £600,000-a-week tax-free deal. The forward has been at the centre of transfer speculation over the summer window, and it was reported earlier in the week that he has asked to explore a move away from Newcastle United.

Liverpool's big-money investment on transfers this summer is the result of long-term planning, club CEO Billy Hogan said.

Luis Diaz has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich and along with Darwin Nuñez was left out on Saturday when the Reds took on AC Milan.
