Aside from Alexander Isak, Liverpool are being linked to a host of other attackers in the transfer market, with at least one more required if Luis Diaz<\/a> departs.<\/p>\n

Despite having already signed Florian Wirtz<\/a> for a British record fee, as well as bringing in Jeremie Frimpong<\/a> and Milos Kerkez<\/a> for \u00a329.5 million and \u00a340m respectively, Liverpool\u2019s spending doesn\u2019t appear to be slowing.<\/p>\n

The Reds have now made an approach<\/a> for Isak, with Eintracht Frankfurt\u2019s Hugo Ekitike acting as a pawn in Liverpool and Newcastle<\/a>\u2018s transfer dealings.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Diaz has been the subject of a bid from Bayern Munich<\/a>, and if the Colombian were to move, it could trigger further players to arrive at Anfield this summer.<\/p>\n

Among others, surprise names Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson have both been linked, with Liverpool lining up potential replacements should Diaz depart.<\/p>\n

Potential incomings<\/p>\n

\"LONDON,<\/p>\n

Jean-Philippe Mateta \u2013 Crystal Palace<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: Foot Mercato<\/a> reported that Liverpool are \u201ckeen\u201d on the Palace striker and \u201chis agent also met with Liverpool representatives in Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n

Probability: The reports haven\u2019t yet been corroborated from a UK source and at this point, the rumour feels like agent talk. For a cut price, though, Liverpool could consider a move, especially if Diaz and Darwin Nunez<\/a> were to both move on.<\/p>\n

Rodrygo \u2013 Real Madrid<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: Various sources in Europe, including RMC Sport, have reported that Rodrygo is on Liverpool\u2019s radar as a left-wing replacement, should Diaz leave for Bayern Munich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Probability: While nothing concrete has yet been circulated, we do know that the Reds have liked the Brazilian for a long time and almost signed him<\/a> when he was 16 years old.<\/p>\n

\"MANCHESTER,<\/p>\n

Christopher Nkunku \u2013 Chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: French newspaper l\u2019Equipe<\/a> report that Liverpool are interested in Nkunku, who would cost about \u00a335m.<\/p>\n

Probability: This is another deal which would look a lot more likely if Diaz were to leave this summer. At the moment, this doesn\u2019t seem like a transfer Liverpool would be chasing.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Jackson \u2013 Chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: Jackson is a player whom sporting director Richard Hughes<\/a> \u201cliked when he was with Bournemouth<\/a>,\u201d but a transfer is unlikely to happen as he is a Chelsea<\/a> player, as reported by the Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Probability: Can\u2019t see Chelsea<\/a> selling or Liverpool buying, to be honest!<\/p>\n

\"LONDON,<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak \u2013 Newcastle<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: Liverpool \u201chave communicated their interest to do a deal in the region of \u00a3120m,\u201d reported<\/a> David Ornstein of the Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Probability: Given it has now become clear Liverpool are willing to spend the money, the chances of this happening have shot up. Nunez\u2019s exit would make it even more likely.<\/p>\n

Hugo Ekitike \u2013 Eintracht Frankfurt<\/p>\n

Report: Newcastle<\/a> have bid \u00a369m, according<\/a> to Fabrizio Romano, but Liverpool \u201ccan enter the race\u201d if the Reds don\u2019t sign Isak. Sky Sports<\/a>\u2018 northeast journalists, meanwhile, say \u201cLiverpool are set to turn their attentions\u201d to Ekitike.<\/p>\n

Probability: It seems Newcastle<\/a> have effectively been left with the choice of selling Isak for a massive fee and signing Ekitke, or keeping Isak for one more year and letting Ekitike go to Liverpool, should the Reds decide he is worth the fee.<\/p>\n

\"Hugo<\/p>\n

Marc Guehi \u2013 Crystal Palace<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: The Telegraph\u2018s Chris Bascombe wrote<\/a>, a month ago, that Liverpool were to \u201cmake a significant offer\u201d while the Mail\u2018s Lewis Steele later said<\/a> the Reds could \u201clowball\u201d Palace at \u00a330m.<\/p>\n

Probability: Things have gone quiet on this front since it was reported<\/a> that Palace want \u00a365m. With just a year left on his deal, this could happen towards the end of this window for around \u00a335m or next year for free.<\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze \u2013 Crystal Palace<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: The Independent<\/a>\u2018s Miguel Delaney wrote<\/a> that sources \u201cclose to the situation\u201d around Eze\u2019s future \u201cbelieve Liverpool may yet activate [their] long-standing interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Probability: It is unclear if links with Eze are substantial or not as there is a chance Liverpool are simply being used to accelerate talks with Arsenal<\/a>, but their interest would certainly make sense given he is another attacking, left-sided player.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Potential outgoings<\/p>\n

\"MANCHESTER,<\/p>\n

Luis Diaz<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: Liverpool have rejected<\/a> a \u00a358.6m bid from Bayern Munich<\/a>, with the German champions now preparing another offer, report Sky Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Probability: For Liverpool to sell Diaz, given their other losses in forward areas this summer, it would take a big fee and for the Reds to have someone lined up as a replacement. <\/p>\n

Darwin Nunez<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: Nunez remains of interest to Napoli and Al Hilal, with it \u201cexpected that a move for him will progress again soon,\u201d according<\/a> to the Athletic.<\/p>\n

Probability: Napoli have now moved for Udinese forward Lorenzo Lucca and you would assume that Nunez won\u2019t now be moving there unless Liverpool were to drop their asking price.<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Ibrahima Konate<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: The Real Madrid<\/a> links to Konate have been ramping up and Los Blancos are \u201cworking on a deal to sign\u201d him next year, reporter Romano told<\/a> DAZN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Probability: Having already sold Jarell Quansah<\/a> this summer, Liverpool shouldn\u2019t sell Konate. However, with just a year on his contract left, we are already seeing how this could play out very similarly to Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>\u2018s exit.<\/p>\n

Harvey Elliott<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: \u201cPreparations for a move are being conducted\u201d and \u201cthere is optimism at West Ham<\/a> that a deal will be possible,\u201d report<\/a> the Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Probability: While Elliott has admitted<\/a> it might be time to leave Liverpool, it would surely take a proposal from an enticing project to prise him from Merseyside. Do West Ham<\/a> offer that?<\/p>\n

\"LONDON,<\/p>\n

Tyler Morton<\/a><\/p>\n

Report: In addition, the Guardian say<\/a> that West Ham<\/a> \u201care also considering\u201d a move for Morton.<\/p>\n

Probability: Morton is a technically excellent player and is more than capable of being a Premier League<\/a> player. This could happen if enough money is offered.<\/p>\n
