Transfer Rumors
– According to The Daily Telegraph, Alexander Isak will not be leaving Newcastle this window, dashing his hopes of moving to Liverpool. The 25-year-old has not featured in the first team after expressing discomfort regarding Liverpool’s interest, and a £110 million bid was declined. Despite tensions between the club and player, reports suggest Isak will be required to stay at St James’ Park “in defiance of the club’s Saudi Arabian owners.” However, Isak has not accepted this situation for the moment.
– Liverpool is becoming the clear frontrunner to secure Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, as reported by The Daily Telegraph. Chelsea was anticipated to be Liverpool’s main competitor after a significant injury to Levi Colwill, but manager Enzo Maresca appears to be focusing on other options. Newcastle had previously looked to sign Guehi last season, but strengthening the central defense is not a priority for them at this time. The 25-year-old is in the last year of his contract and is likely to depart before the transfer window closes. Crystal Palace faces Liverpool in the Community Shield on Sunday.
– AC Milan is joining the race with rivals Internazionale and Liverpool for Parma defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo, according to Corriere Dello Sport. The 18-year-old is viewed as a “dream signing” for his Serie A competitors, and Liverpool is said to have made inquiries about him. Milan’s coach, Max Allegri, is a huge admirer, and he’s valued at around 35 million euros. As of now, the young center-back has not pushed for a transfer but aims to play for top Italian clubs and eventually make an impact on the national team. It remains to be seen if Liverpool will officially pursue him in the final weeks of the transfer window. Milan’s plans may depend on their outgoing transfers, especially given Newcastle’s recent offers, which have given AC Milan an advantage in securing Malick Chiu.
– AC Milan defender Malick Chiu has reached an agreement with Newcastle United regarding personal terms, Rudy Garetti reports. However, the contract remains unfinalized as Milan demands a fee of 40 million euros and will not allow his exit until a replacement is signed. Once the deal is concluded, Chiu is expected to sign a contract in Tyneside lasting until at least 2029. The center-back, who joined Milan from Schalke in 2022, has made three appearances for Germany.
– Newcastle has also increased their offer for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa, with The Times reporting that their previous bid of £25 million was rejected by the West London club. The report adds that Brentford appears set to sign Damien Watara from AFC Bournemouth as a replacement for Wissa.
