On August 8, Liverpool coach Arne Slott admitted at the latest press conference that forward Darwin Nunes had the possibility of leaving the team, but he refused to comment on whether the team would seek to buy Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak again. It is reported that after Louis Dias transfers to Bayern Munich, Nunes is also close to joining Saudi team Riyadh Crescent. The total price of the deal is believed to be up to €65 million. If Nunez leaves the team, it will provide financial support for Liverpool to pursue Isaac again.

Previously, Isaac expressed his desire to join Liverpool this summer, and was then arranged for separate training by Newcastle. Liverpool once offered £110 million to buy, but was rejected. The outside world expects that the Reds will raise their offer after obtaining Nunez's transfer fee and try to introduce Isaac again.

When asked whether Liverpool would raise their offer for Isaac, Slot chose to turn the topic to existing players. He confirmed the possibility of Nunez leaving the team: "At present, Darwin (Nuñes) may indeed leave, but things have not been completely finalized, and we need to wait a few more days. But he does have a chance to leave the team." Slot also emphasized that he usually does not comment on non-sponsors of the team, but only wants to talk about the players who have been signed, such as Hugo Ekitika.

Slott expressed satisfaction with the team's existing attack line: "We are very satisfied with the current lineup, and we have good reason to be happy because we won the league championship last season. Although some players left, we also brought in new players and the young players performed well." He further elaborated on the offensive choice: "We think the team already has strong offensive firepower. I think of Cody Garkepo, Feder Rico Chiesa, Hugo Ekitika, Mohamed Salah, Jeremy Flynnon who can play right winger, Florian Wilz who can play left winger and other players. I already feel that there are many offensive options in the team. "

Despite being satisfied with the status quo, Slot also said that the club will continue to pay attention to the transfer market opportunities: "As a club, we are always paying attention to opportunities in the market, and of course this may also be a reinforcement in the midfield or defense." But he made it clear that even if he failed to sign Isaac, he was equally satisfied with his current squad.
