A surprise move from Manchester United might give Liverpool a huge boost in their pursuit of Alexander Isak.
Slot’s business in the transfer window is said to be far from over, even if reports indicate that Liverpool is very close to a British record deal for Florian Wirtz, a star for Bayer Leverkusen.
Wirtz’s old teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who will join Slot as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s replacement, was officially signed by the Reds earlier in the transfer window.
Following the announcement of the Wirtz deal, Liverpool is expected to focus on defender Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth before considering their possibilities for a new striker, with Isak of Newcastle United being the best candidate.
Even though it was first thought that Isak was not for sale, current sources indicate that Liverpool is unwilling to give up on the Swedish international, and a recent rumor suggests Manchester United might offer them a significant boost.
United seems to be concentrating most of their attention on selling players, while Liverpool concentrates on new signings in the early stages of the transfer season.
Following their successful acquisition of former Wolves striker Matheus Cunha, United is now evaluating its options for selling players like Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, and Marcus Rashford.
Despite interest from teams like Barcelona, Newcastle has emerged as one of the favorites to acquire Rashford this summer, according to a recent article from The Sun.
The England international’s recent stint at Aston Villa is rumored to have impressed Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, who wants to bring him to St James’ Park on a season-long loan.
With Howe adding another great forward to the team, Newcastle may be able to trade Isak this summer if they are successful in their pursuit of Rashford.
Alternatively, the Magpies might be open to letting Anthony Gordon, who has also been frequently linked to Liverpool, go in the summer if they sign a new winger.
But according to the article, Howe now sees Rashford as a squad member to alternate with Isak rather than a replacement.
