Liverpool now in talks with two SENSATIONAL forwards

Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez will soon join Jeremie Frimpong as landmark Liverpool summer arrivals. Kerkez takes care of a need - namely adding quality for the long term at left-back.

But Wirtz is different; he could potentially have a transformative effect on the Liverpool squad and take the club to new dimensions.

That said, there is still unfinished business in the transfer window even if those two arrive. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is keen to add a new centre-forward.

Anfieldwatch reported all the way back in February that the Dutchman was prepared to move on from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota. Bids have been heard for the Uruguayan hitman - although he has turned down a move to Saudi side Al-Hilal.

Isak and Osimhen on the table

That said, we now know Liverpool’s stance over Nunez and he will be off should one of his European suitors come up with the money.

Jota’s situation is less clear-cut. He is out of contract in 2027 and given his patchy injury record - as well as his age - it would be no surprise to see the club part ways with the Portuguese.

Selling those two could leave over £100m in the transfer kitty to be lavished on a new No9 and it appears that Richard Hughes is conducting two-track negotiations in a bid to get a deal for a striker over the line.

That’s according to a new report in Rousing the Kop - which suggests Liverpool are chasing both Alexander Isak AND Victor Osimhen in the current window.

Liverpool talking to Osimhen

“The Reds continue to be hopeful of luring the 25-year-old away from Newcastle,” the report states of Isak.

“Should Liverpool receive encouragement that a deal can be done, they are likely to make their move.”

Isak is of course the dream target but it’s not going to be easy to match the Magpies valuation. And that’s why talks have been continuing over a move for Napoli frontman Osimhen.

“Conversations have taken place between the Nigerian’s agents and Liverpool,” the report reads.

The 26-year-old is available - with only a year left on his contract - and looks a readymade, world-class solution for the Reds so long as his wage demands can be satisfied.

Osimhen is coming off the back of a stellar, double-winning season with Galatasaray but would end up costing around half the fee that Newcastle want for Isak. Incidentally, Hugo Ekitike is apparently out of reach owing to the Eintracht Frankfurt asking price.

If Liverpool do get an indication that a deal is possible for Isak, then expect them to pursue it. Otherwise, Liverpool could be rolling out the red carpet for Osimhen this transfer window.
