During the summer transfer window, Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, is a target for Liverpool. The Swedish international enjoyed an incredible season with Newcastle and is without a doubt the Premier League’s top striker. In addition to leading them to an English League Cup victory, he assisted them in qualifying for the Champions League.
Fichajes claims that Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool, wants the team to sign Isak. Last season, the 25-year-old scored 27 goals. Michael Owen, a former striker for Liverpool, has called him a top-class player who could fit in with any squad.
Without a doubt, Liverpool needs a good striker. Liverpool needs an upgrade after Darwin Nunez scored seven goals across all competitions the previous season. Whether they can negotiate a deal for Isak is still up in the air.
Newcastle wants to sign their top player to a new contract because they don’t want to lose him. Liverpool is prepared to move quickly for the youngster, though. They are prepared to make the Swedish international an offer of €120 million (£100 million).
Liverpool need Alexander Isak
According to reports, Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt was the Reds’ next big target, but Chelsea is presently leading them in that specific race. And now that the Spanish newspaper Fichajes claims that Liverpool has been closely monitoring Newcastle’s talks with the player regarding a possible contract renewal, the Reds may make a move for Newcastle striker Isak.
The Liverpool board is prepared to make a significant offer of €120 million (£101 million) if negotiations don’t work out, and they want to act quickly if they see that these negotiations don’t come to fruition. It is understood that the player’s performance and the goals he achieves would determine the amount of the remaining €20 million, with €100 million being fixed.
The Merseyside club may be the right place for the 25-year-old to continue growing since he is at an ideal moment to take another step in his career. Liverpool is still on guard and has their check ready, while Newcastle is trying to persuade him to remain in the north of England.
