🔥 PSG Move Could Hand Liverpool Shock Advantage in Alexander Isak Chase

Liverpool’s pursuit of Alexander Isak may have just been given an unexpected lift — and it’s all thanks to Paris Saint-Germain’s activity in the transfer market.

The Newcastle United striker, widely regarded as one of the most gifted centre-forwards in Europe, has been heavily linked with a switch to Anfield this summer. While Newcastle have made it clear they don’t want to lose the Swedish international, multiple reports suggest Isak is pushing for the move and is unwilling to feature for the Magpies again until his future is resolved.

⚽ The PSG Twist

According to Liverpool.com, PSG are close to finalising the sale of Marco Asensio to Aston Villa. At first glance, that deal might seem unrelated to Isak’s future — but here’s where it gets interesting.

Asensio’s arrival at Villa Park would likely pave the way for Jacob Ramsey to join Newcastle, a player Eddie Howe’s side have been pursuing. While Ramsey wouldn’t be a direct replacement for Isak up front, his addition could give Newcastle more options in attack and midfield, potentially softening their stance on letting their star striker go — provided Liverpool table a big enough bid.

🧐 Will It Be Enough?

It’s worth noting that Newcastle may still seek a direct striker replacement before sanctioning any sale. Names like Joao Pedro and Benjamin Sesko have been mentioned, though neither move has materialised. Yoane Wissa is another potential target before the window closes.

For now, Isak’s dream move to Anfield remains in the balance — but PSG’s transfer dealings could unexpectedly tip the scales in Liverpool’s favour.
