Alexander Isak bid CLOSE as Liverpool drop transfer hint
Newcastle forward - and documented Liverpool target – Alexander Isak issued a controversial statement on Tuesday night. Rather than attend the PFA awards ceremony, Isak decided to send a message to his employers. Citing a lack of trust and broken relationships, the 25-year-old declared it time to move on. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Liverpool are of course the No1 contenders for his signature - with no other teams currently in the hunt. For his part, the Sweden international has eyes only for Anfield and is determined to force his way to the Premier League champions this summer. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Liverpool have long held Isak as their first choice for a new No9. Darwin Nunez did not quite cut it last season and has been moved on to Al-Hilal. Liverpool won't move for another striker Hugo Ekitike has also been brought to the club but is seen by Arne Slot as a versatile option who can also play from the left. Liverpool definitely require another forward; the departures of Ben Doak, Luis Diaz and the aforementioned Nunez have left the Merseysiders a little light in attack. And right now we can assume that Liverpool WILL be back for Isak. Despite looking a player short up top, Liverpool have not panicked into moving for another target. The mantra around Anfield under FSG has always been that it's better to sign no player than the wrong player. And with the move for Isak in stasis, Liverpool are sticking to their guns. One more bid before window closes? According to a report in the Athletic, Liverpool WILL come back with another bid before the window closes. Clearly there is a lot that needs to happen before Isak ends up as a Liverpool player but there is no reason to believe that the Reds will look elsewhere at this stage. LFC remain keen 'Newcastle's rapid rejection of that £110million offer at the start of this month left Liverpool feeling that submitting an improved second bid would be futile,' the report reads. 'However, the Premier League champions haven't pursued an alternative target in the near three weeks since and remain keen to secure Isak's services if Newcastle's stance changes. 'They have the funds to break the British transfer record to get Isak. They have embarked on the biggest spending spree in their history this summer, with around £320million, including add-ons, committed to new signings, but have also generated up to £220m from player sales.' © IMAGO

Lower US tariffs on EU autos are on hold for now
Source: CNN The lower US tariffs on cars imported from the EU will have to wait, at least for now. The EU-US trade agreement is poised to cut the US import tax on cars from the EU from 27.5% to 15%. However, details released Thursday reveal that the lower rate won't take effect until the EU takes separate action to reduce its own tariffs on US goods. 'These tariff reductions are expected to be effective from the first day of the same month in which the European Union's legislative proposal is introduced,' said the latest specifics of the trade agreement released by both the EU and US. This is another example of the ever-changing trade rules this year between the United States and its major trading partners which will impose additional costs on American businesses that import goods and likely eventually raise costs for consumers. The Trump administration announced tariffs of at least 25% on imported vehicles and parts earlier this year. Since then, the US has announced trade agreements with many countries that export cars to United States, expect two of the largest: Mexico and Canada. For example, Germany – the EU country with the most auto exports to the United States – shipped 431,000 vehicles to America last year, according to S&P Global Mobility. But that is only about 3% of the US market, placing it a distant fifth behind Mexico, South Korea, Japan and Canada. US automakers have objected strongly to lowering tariffs on most overseas imports while maintaining higher rates on cars and parts from Canada and Mexico. That's because previous trade deals has allowed the auto industry for decades to operate as if North America was a single market, freely moving parts and vehicles across the borders. Automakers point out that cars assembled in Mexico and Canada include a significant amount of parts produced at US plants. Despite fears, auto tariffs have not significantly raised prices for American car buyers so far this year. Data from car buying site Edmunds shows that the average car price in July was up less than 2% from before the tariffs took effect in March, or a year ago. That's because automakers have, so far, been willing to assume the higher cost of building and importing vehicles instead of raising prices. The concern is that higher prices will put vehicles out of the reach for many customers, cutting into demand. Several companies, including General Motors, Ford, Stellantis and Toyota, have announced they are racking up billions in additional costs due to tariffs. See Full Web Article

Germany to ease burden on electricity consumers from 2026
German electricity consumer prices are set to ease next year due to a €6.5 billion ($7.55 billion) government subsidy to finance transmission costs, sources in the Economics Ministry said on Thursday. The aim is to soften the impact of network charges on electricity consumers, the sources said, adding that the ministry has introduced a draft bill for internal government consultation. Structurally high electricity prices are a significant challenge for Germany's embattled economy and a burden on consumers. The subsidy is to be financed from a special government fund for climate and energy transformation. The subsidy for transmission network costs will now be implemented for the year 2026, with further relief in future years to be funded to the tune of €6.5 billion from the government pot, according to the ministerial sources. Details of how the relief will be passed on to consumers are still to be discussed by the conservative-led government coalition under Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The coalition agreement states that the goal is to permanently cap network charges. The reduction of network charges is part of a package of government measures. The Cabinet has already set plans in motion to relieve gas customers. Specifically, companies and consumers are to be exempted from the cost of building up gas reservoirs, the so-called gas storage levy. There are also proposals to make an electricity tax reduction for the manufacturing industry, agreed earlier this year, permanent from 2026. However, a reduction in electricity taxes for all, as pledged in the new government's coalition agreement, is not to come for now. The decision to limit the tax reduction to industry, due to budgetary constraints, sparked widespread criticism. Network charges, which help finance the costly expansion of electricity networks, have risen significantly as a component of the electricity price. The charges are incurred for the use of the electricity transmission network. They are then passed on to consumers by energy suppliers. The subsidy for transmission network costs is intended to dampen the increase in network charges related to the transition to green energy sources, according to the draft bill. "The relief must be passed on to customers through the network operators," Economic Affairs Minister Katherina Reiche told dpa last month of the planned measure. "My clear expectation of the industry is: The relief must reach the customer." Solve the daily Crossword
