Liverpool appear ready to turn up the heat in their pursuit of Alexander Isak, with reports suggesting that an official £100 million offer could be submitted to Newcastle United within days.

According to trusted sources, including journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Reds are preparing to open formal discussions with the Magpies, with a written proposal expected to follow shortly. A key meeting is reportedly scheduled to take place within the next 48 hours.

🔥 This follows growing speculation — especially after Isak’s absence from Newcastle’s pre-season tour — that the Swedish striker is open to making the switch to Anfield.

The potential move comes as Liverpool are set to receive a significant cash boost from the imminent sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, believed to be worth around £65.6 million, according to Paul Joyce. That money could directly support the club’s pursuit of the 25-year-old forward.

💰 Liverpool’s Offer vs Newcastle’s Demands

While Liverpool are prepared to table a £100 million bid, it’s understood that Newcastle are holding out for a much higher figure — possibly around £150 million. However, insiders believe that the Merseyside giants are optimistic a compromise can be reached, potentially around £120 million plus add-ons.

Even more intriguingly, personal terms between Liverpool and Isak are reportedly already in place, with a five-year deal that aligns perfectly with the player’s salary expectations.

⚔️ Will Newcastle Budge?

Liverpool’s approach is thought to mirror their successful strategy in the Florian Wirtz negotiations, where they eventually landed the German star by gradually increasing their offer. It seems likely the same playbook is being used here — start lower, then work towards a number both sides can accept.

Though Newcastle are said to be reluctant sellers, Isak’s desire to leave might just be the deciding factor. If the Swedish international pushes for the move, it could sway the Tyneside club into accepting a high but slightly reduced fee.

🚨 A Defining Week Ahead

This potential deal could become one of the summer’s defining moments — not just because of the fee involved, but because it would see Liverpool break their transfer record for the second time in one window.

But even as the Isak chase gathers pace, there’s still an urgent need for reinforcements in defence, especially after Joe Gomez’s injury. Sporting director Richard Hughes faces pressure to balance both fronts as the transfer deadline looms.

With the opening offer for Isak expected any moment now, fans should brace for what could be a thrilling tug-of-war between Liverpool and Newcastle that might drag well into August.
