Fabrizio Romano has revealed Liverpool’s ‘dream target’ if they miss out on Alexander Isak as Real Madrid star Rodrygo is embroiled in a potential transfer domino. Isak has made it clear to the Newcastle hierarchy that he wants a move away from St James’ Park this summer but the club chiefs rejected a £110m Liverpool bid for his services last week.

Romano, writing on X, has revealed that Liverpool’s agreement with Al-Hilal for Nunez is ‘100% done’ in a deal worth over €53m (£46m), with talks ongoing over personal terms: Nunez, once praised as ‘world-class’, has been heavily linked with an Anfield exit over the past several months amid a season of struggles under Arne Slot.
