Liverpool is interested in Alexander Isak, but the Premier League winners may have another option.
Liverpool are dead focused on acquiring Alexander Isak, but a £130 million option may be available and appealing to the Reds.
Liverpool have spent more than £300 million this summer, yet they remain determined to sign Newcastle United striker Isak, who wants go and continues to train alone.
Newcastle rejected the Reds’ £110 million bid, insisting he is not for sale despite his willingness to depart this summer.
Isak finally broke his silence and accused the club of “broken promises,” but Newcastle responded by stating that they “have been clear that the terms of a sale this summer have not been met.”
Eddie Howe believes the story is “coming to an end” and remains confident of his return to the fold.
But may Liverpool shift their focus elsewhere following a huge development?
Liverpool may have a £130 million Isak alternative.
In Spain, Defensa Central has reported on the scenario concerning Real Madrid player Vinicius Jr, whose contract is up until 2027.
Contract negotiations have been put on hold, with Real exploring all alternatives, including selling the Brazilian in 2026 if the two parties cannot reach an agreement.
While it is not their favorite situation, Real Madrid is reportedly considering selling him for £130 million next summer.
The story goes on to say that Los Blancos believe Vinicius’ aim is to follow Kylian Mbappe’s lead and enter 2027 as a free agent, giving him more control over his destiny.
While there are no clear links between Liverpool and Vinicius, who scored the winning goal against them in the 2022 Champions League final, the club is still looking for a high-profile forward boost and has been connected with his club and international teammate Rodrygo Goes.
According to the same source, the Brazilian’s agents are in the United Kingdom for negotiations, and he is delighted about the idea of playing for Liverpool, who regard him as a viable replacement for Luis Diaz following his transfer from Bayern Munich.
At the same time, he is not actively seeking to leave the Santiago Bernabeu and would be content to stay put.
