Liverpool's next signing is starting to unveil and it's not Alexander Isak.
Of course the Swede is still a priority target for the Reds. But his saga could drag on for a while. This doesn't mean that Liverpool won't sign him, merely that given it's a deal of huge magnitude, it's going to take a long time to iron out the details.

But in the meantime, there is another priority area where Richard Hughes will want to add more depth to Arne Slot's squad.
With Joe Gomez travelling back home from pre-season due to an injury, it has exposed a great need at centre-back for the Reds.
Liverpool have already lost Jarell Quansah this summer, and they now have just two senior centre-back on tour in pre-season in Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk.
This has seen Slot play Luca Stephenson, Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas at centre-back.
It's becoming very apparent after the four goals conceded against AC Milan that this situation is not tenable going into the season.
Liverpool need more depth in the centre-back positions, especially considering Konate and Gomez are both injury prone.
This is therefore the obvious next transfer Hughes is going to sort out. And while the first name everyone will gravitate to is Marc Guehi, he might not be the clear choice.
In fact, Liverpool may already be targeting someone else in the position, who could be an even better fit.
