Liverpool tipped to sign TWO Newcastle stars in dazzling £175m double coup after Zubimendi

Liverpool are the only Premier League team still not to make a signing but with Martin Zubimendi’s arrival just around the corner, their transfer window is about to heat up.
Reports from Spain suggest that the Reds are ready to pay Zubimendi’s £51m release clause and personal terms are not expected to be a problem for the Real Sociedad star.
He looks set to become the first acquisition of the Arne Slot era at Anfield, but he won’t be the last this summer as Liverpool plot a dazzling double raid on Newcastle.
According to GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool remain keen on Anthony Gordon as they look to bring in a new winger before the window slams shut.
Before the PSR deadline that forced Newcastle into selling players, Liverpool had agreed a deal that would’ve seen Gordon join them for £75m and Joe Gomez sign for the Magpies for £45m.
Medicals were even booked for the pair but the Magpies were ultimately able to sell Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh instead, so the deal was shelved.
The Merseyside giants have made enquiries about the Brazilian international and while he remains happy at St James’ Park, his agents haven’t ruled out ‘late window drama.’
Guimaraes’ future was in doubt earlier this summer when several top clubs considered triggering his £100m release clause, which has now expired.
Reports suggest it would likely take a minimum of £100m for Newcastle to consider parting ways with the 26-year-old.
This comes after Guimaraes was welcomed into Newcastle leadership group by Eddie Howe.
Bruno was proud to captain Newcastle in their pre-season tour of Japan last week, and he is now in the inner circle of leaders at St James’ Park.
“I’m very happy and the gaffer has given me a big responsibility to be in the leadership group,” he told BBC Sport.
“I want to be a leader and help the club in so many ways. I also want to help this guy [Howe] because I am grateful for him. I want to deliver something special for them.”
This show of commitment to Newcastle from Guimaraes is telling, but it will be interesting to see if Liverpool do launch a bid for him after they tie up a deal for Zubimendi, which looks increasingly likely.
