This summer, Liverpool shook up the transfer market with the signings of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, leading many to believe that the Reds' transfer budget had been exhausted. But that's far from the case.

Details: According to The Times, Liverpool still have the financial muscle to test Newcastle's determination to keep their star striker Alexander Isak. While the Swede isn't Arne Slot's top transfer priority, if the forward expresses a desire to leave the Magpies, the Merseyside club will undoubtedly be among the contenders vying for his signature.

Newcastle are prepared to fend off suitors by offering Isak a pay rise, making him the highest-paid player in the club's history with a weekly wage of £150,000. The move is prompted by concerns that once the transfer window opens, offers for their Swedish star will come flooding in.

Reminder: In addition to Wirtz and Frimpong, Liverpool are also finalizing the signing of Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, for whom the Cherries have already lined up a swift replacement.
