🚨 Transfer tracker: Where we are with Isak-Liverpool, Eze-Arsenal and the 12 biggest sagas of the summer

Exclusive deep dive into the major sagas that could be resolved soon...

Although the start of the new Premier League season doesn’t coincide with the end of the summer transfer window, it’s fair to say it could lead to a few major sagas speeding up.

Here’s our latest look at the 12 biggest sagas that should be resolved soon, including insight into the Alexander Isak to Liverpool situation and imminent deals for Manchester United and Chelsea…

Alexander Isak

What’s happened so far?

Liverpool have had a £110m bid rejected, while Alexander Isak has also only recently returned to Newcastle United training after informing the club of his desire to leave.

There has also been some interest from the Saudi Pro League, but nothing concrete, with the Sweden international keen on Liverpool but not currently thought to be giving serious consideration to leaving Europe.

It’s also well known that Isak has previously been on the radar of other top clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea, but without much optimism that a deal would be possible due to Newcastle’s demands.

What is likely to happen next?

At the time of writing, it doesn’t look like there are any major developments, but we fully expect Liverpool to come back in with an improved offer.

Fabrizio Romano has spoken on his YouTube channel about LFC being serious about Isak, assuring him: “We are here. We are ready. We have the money. We are prepared to make something important.”

Romano is not one for sensationalism – if he’s getting any indication that Liverpool still want Isak, and they have the money to afford the deal, then it is absolutely one to watch.

Newcastle’s pursuit of a new striker is also a reasonable clue that they’re not exactly banking on keeping their star player, but more on that to come.

Eberechi Eze

What’s happened so far?

CaughtOffside‘s information earlier this summer was that Arsenal had agreed the first part of payment terms with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze.

This was checked by multiple reliable sources, though the saga has dragged on, as can happen when there are various moving parts involved.

Alternatively, other sources such as the Times and Football Transfers are suggesting that the Gunners *will* bid soon, which sounds more different than it actually is…
