The Reds have already invested over £210 million this summer, which includes the club-record-breaking £116 million signing of Florian Wirtz, signaling to the rest of the Premier League that Liverpool intends to defend their title next season.
Now, in an intriguing development, Liverpool has made a move for Isak, which Newcastle will find hard to refuse, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
“EXCL: Liverpool has made a club-to-club inquiry with Newcastle to discuss a record bid for Alexander Isak.
“If Isak is unavailable, Liverpool may pursue Ekitike instead.
“The decision lies with Newcastle, as they have never intended to sell Isak and are looking to offer him a new deal.”
Journalist David Ornstein also verified the potential deal that would once again surpass the club and British transfer record, marking an extraordinary turn of events for Liverpool, who clearly have substantial funds this summer.
“Liverpool is making a move to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. #LFC states there is no formal bid and is fully aware that #NUFC's position has consistently been: not for sale. However, they have expressed interest in a deal for the 25-year-old Swedish international valued at around £120m.”
If the club were to invest heavily in Isak, it would likely result in Darwin Nunez leaving the team, as Liverpool would need to adhere to financial regulations that would be pressing on them after spending over £300 million in just a few months.
Isak has netted 62 goals in 109 matches for Newcastle, and it is well-known that Liverpool has desired to bring in the 25-year-old as their new No. 9 for quite some time.
Now, it appears highly probable that manager Arne Slot will recruit the Swedish international, who would eagerly make his way to Merseyside ahead of the upcoming season.
