This summer, the Newcastle United striker has been connected to a number of major teams.
According to a recent source, Liverpool has re-entered the race to recruit Alexander Isak, a star for Newcastle United, and has disclosed the exact amount they are willing to pay.
Liverpool has already been active in the transfer market, acquiring right-back Jeremie Frimpong to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold just three weeks after winning the 2024–25 Premier League title.
Reports stated that Liverpool had reached a Premier League record agreement for Florian Wirtz, Frimpong’s former colleague from Bayer Leverkusen, shortly after the signing was finalized. Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth was also anticipated to join the Reds.
However, it seems that Liverpool won’t stop there. According to a recent source, they are already investigating a deal for Isak, a top transfer target who has drawn interest from a number of significant clubs this summer.
Isak became one of the most exciting strikers in the world when Newcastle United had an amazing season, which led to connections with Arsenal, Barcelona, and a number of other elite teams.
The Swedish international is reportedly the favorite to join Liverpool, who are willing to shatter the British transfer record a second time this summer to do so, according to a GiveMeSport article.
According to the source, Liverpool is prepared to make every effort to sign Isak, who has made 42 appearances in all competitions and scored 26 goals and provided six assists.
Newcastle is expected to require a proposal of at least £150 million if they are even considering selling their star player after they qualified for the Champions League the following season.
It is thought that Liverpool is not ruling out such a huge proposal, if they feel that they can make a deal work, even if this outrageous price tag would put off many of the other clubs interested in Isak.
Liverpool hopes to accomplish this by obtaining a reasonable transfer fee for Darwin Nunez, an out-of-form striker who has been strongly linked to moves to Napoli, Atletico Madrid, and many Saudi Pro League teams.
This summer, a number of forwards, including Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Harvey Elliott, could depart Anfield, including the Uruguayan.
If any of these attackers are sold, Liverpool will try to use the proceeds to buy Isak; if not, they will step up their efforts to acquire additional strikers, such as Julian Alvarez, Joao Pedro, and Hugo Ekitike.
