Liverpool seeks a swap deal for Isak, offering Núñez, while Barcelona eyes Luis Díaz amid transfer rumors.

Liverpool is actively pursuing a swap deal with Newcastle United for striker Alexander Isak, offering Darwin Núñez as part of the exchange. Manager Arne Slot has expressed doubts about both Núñez and Diogo Jota, prompting the club to seek a more prolific option. Isak has been in remarkable form, netting 17 goals in just 23 Premier League appearances this season. However, with a contract running until 2028, any potential transfer would likely exceed £100 million.

In parallel, Barcelona is preparing a summer bid for Liverpool winger Luis Díaz, a long-term target for the Catalan giants. Díaz, who has two years remaining on his contract, could face a complicated transfer due to Barcelona`s financial constraints. Meanwhile, Arsenal is eyeing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike as a backup option should they fail to secure Isak, with Ekitike potentially available for around £60 million.

Manchester United is in advanced negotiations to sign Sporting CP`s Geovany Quenda, having agreed on personal terms, although a fee is still to be settled. The club is also interested in Victor Osimhen, but his wage demands and the need for Champions League football could complicate matters. Chelsea may consider letting Cole Palmer leave if they miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification, as his contract includes a clause that obligates the club to entertain offers from rivals.

Liverpool is also monitoring Feyenoord defender David Hancko, who could serve as a replacement for Virgil van Dijk. Hancko`s previous relationship with Arne Slot could provide Liverpool with an edge in negotiations. In other developments, Manchester United`s head coach Ruben Amorim faces significant challenges in revitalizing the team, with pundits suggesting it may take multiple transfer windows to address the club`s financial issues and strategic needs.

Arsenal and Chelsea are set to compete for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, valued at approximately £85 million, while Arsenal is also considering a move for Roberto Firmino, currently at Al-Ahli, although he is not expected to leave until the summer. Myles Lewis-Skelly, an Arsenal defender, is on the brink of a potential England debut despite limited Premier League experience.
