Liverpool are in advanced talks to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike in a deal worth more than £70m.
Multiple sources have indicated that Liverpool aim to have the transfer wrapped up by this weekend.
Newcastle have had a £70m offer for Ekitike rejected by Frankfurt, with Liverpool's offer expected to surpass it.
Ekitike is open to joining the Premier League champions, who want to sign a central striker.
Liverpool have also shown a major interest in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, but the Magpies are adamant the Swede is not for sale at any price.
