Newcastle has set their price for the Sweden international, Alexander Isak, who has been linked to a spectacular transfer to Liverpool.
Arne Slot’s championship-winning team has seen rapid improvement thanks to Liverpool’s summer transfer window efforts, and further additions appear to be on the horizon.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was headed to Real Madrid, was replaced by Jeremie Frimpong, while Liverpool broke their transfer record by acquiring Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
Marc Guehi is also being considered to replace Jarell Quansah, while Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth will finalize a move in the next few days.
Although Liverpool supporters are happy with their team’s performance thus far, their number nine spot is still a top priority.
As Diogo Jota struggled with form and health last season, Darwin Nunez is anticipated to depart the team due to interest from Napoli and the Saudi Pro League.
Isak of Newcastle, who solidified his status as one of the best strikers in the world with an incredible 23 goals and six assists in the Premier League the previous season, is still the ideal addition.
Rumors of Liverpool preparing a spectacular move for the Swede once Nunez has been moved on have thrown social media into overdrive this week, and a new report has given an update on the matter.
The Telegraph claims that Isak’s circumstances have not changed and that the recent commotion over a possible transfer to Anfield is all conjecture.
Like many other teams worldwide, Liverpool is still interested in the forward, but they do not anticipate being able to sign him this summer.
Additionally, the Magpies are not under any obligation to sell their star forward, who has three more seasons left on his contract and would need to pay a hefty sum to enter into negotiations.
According to the article, Newcastle would not expect a British transfer record, but rather a price that is comparable to the £200 million world record that Neymar paid to move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.
According to Newcastle sources, Liverpool has not contacted them at all regarding Isak, and they insist the forward won’t be moved.
Alexander Isak’s remarks regarding his future
Isak addressed the speculation over his future back in March, saying he wanted to help Newcastle qualify for the Champions League the next season.
Really, there isn’t much to say. I’ve made multiple comments to Fotbollskanal regarding my circumstances and safety in Newcastle.
“My affection for the city and the club, as well as how comfortable I feel there, have been written about. I’m not considering the future.
All I want to do is play for Newcastle. We want to finish strongly and advance to the Champions League games even though we just won the cup. My attention is on that.
