As a result of an incident that occurred after the Carabao Cup final, Liverpool supporters are fantasising about the possibility of signing Alexander Isak.
At the Wembley Stadium on Sunday, the forward for Newcastle scored the second goal for his team during the match.
Following Dan Burn’s opening goal, the Magpies went on to win by a score of 2-1, thereby securing their first major domestic trophy in seven decades.
Even though the outcome was not favourable, Virgil van Dijk displayed his professionalism after the final whistle blew.
Before the Reds were allowed to celebrate their victory, the captain of the Reds made sure to shake hands with each and every player from Newcastle.
There is now new footage that has surfaced that shows his interaction with Isak while they were playing at Wembley Stadium.
Following the exchange of hugs, it seemed as though Isak had something to say to the Dutch defender.
After that, Van Dijk turns around to respond before starting to walk away from his opponent.
A number of Liverpool supporters are under the impression that their captain was making an effort to acquire the Swedish striker’s services for the upcoming season.
One of the supporters responded to the comment on social media by writing, “Agent Van Dijk and Isak.”
“See you at AXA (Liverpool’s training ground) next season,” joked another supporter. “I’ll probably see you there.”
In the past few weeks, Isak has been linked with both Liverpool and Arsenal, following yet another successful season at St. James’ Park.
However, despite the fact that he has scored 19 goals in 25 Premier League appearances this season, the player, who is 25 years old, still has three years left on his contract.
On the other hand, Robbie Fowler, a legendary player for Liverpool, has urged his former club to make a move for Isak during the summer.
In an interview with Alex Crook of talkSPORT, Fowler stated, “I am certain that Liverpool will be getting linked to Isak.”
“I’m sure Newcastle will want to give him a new contract because of the goals and performances, so it will be an interesting summer.”
Nevertheless, if Isak does make the move, it is possible that he will not be joining Van Dijk on Merseyside. This is because the centre back’s own future is still uncertain.
The contract that Van Dijk signed in 2021 is scheduled to expire at the end of the current season, and an extension to the agreement that he signed has not yet been agreed upon.
There have been reports that Al Hilal, a Saudi Pro League club, have approached the former Southampton player about the possibility of a transfer.
A departure would bring an end to Van Dijk’s tenure at Liverpool, which had resulted in eight trophies over the course of seven years, including the Premier League and the Champions League.
