Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool in discussions about new forward | OneFootball

Liverpool are busy trying to add Alexander Isak to their already star-studded squad. It’s been a transfer window like no other for the Reds - with £260m-worth of talent already brought in.

Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili have all arrived at Anfield. And Isak would top the lot - ANOTHER British record signing following the potential £116m acquisition of Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

We’ve also seen the club conduct plenty of outgoing business. Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nat Phillips have all departed.

More exits are expected - with Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton, Federico Chiesa and Ben Doak among those listed for sale.

How will Liverpool replace Diaz?

The loss of Diaz has fuelled speculation that Richard Hughes could move in the market for a like-for-like replacement.

Cody Gakpo is a capable left-wing performer - while others such as Rio Ngumoha, Wirtz and Ekitike can also take on responsibility in that sector.

But having banked £65m for Diaz, Liverpool may well be active for a left winger. To that extent the club have been seriously linked with Malick Fofana from Lyon.

Fofana is Lyon's prize asset

The French Ligue 1 side are facing some severe financial headwinds and require sales this summer.

Fofana is regarded as their most bankable asset - worth around €50m to €60m - and has attracted plenty of attention in the Premier League.

Everton have been suggested as strong suitors but if Liverpool come calling then surely the Belgian will be attracted to Anfield instead.
