Liverpool’s pursuit of Alexander Isak has taken a dramatic new turn, with fresh insights surfacing from one of the most reliable sources in Merseyside.
According to highly regarded journalist Paul Joyce, the Reds are indeed keeping a close eye on the Swedish striker — but the situation is far more complex than fans might hope. 🧐
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Isak did not travel with Newcastle United for their pre-season tour in Asia, reportedly due to injury. However, whispers from behind the scenes suggest the forward has now expressed a desire to move on — and Anfield is firmly in his sights. 🚨
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano weighed in shortly after, reaffirming that Isak has made Liverpool his top priority. In his words: “There are no talks with Al Hilal, Chelsea, or Manchester United. It’s Liverpool or nothing.”
Despite the clear intent from the player, Newcastle are standing their ground. Joyce reported that unless the Tyneside club change their firm stance, Liverpool may have to settle for watching from a distance. 🛑
Even more daunting is the financial hurdle. While early inquiries from Liverpool suggested a proposal between £120m and £130m, it’s now believed the Magpies are holding out for a jaw-dropping £150 million. 💰
The Reds have already had a busy transfer window, splashing close to £300 million on names like Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Freddie Woodman, Armin Pecsi, and Hugo Ekitike. Yet, it seems they’re not done just yet.
With additional links to Rodrygo, Marc Guehi, and Anthony Gordon, Liverpool’s squad revamp under Arne Slot continues to raise eyebrows.
Could Isak become the final piece of the puzzle at Anfield? Or will Newcastle’s firm stance kill the deal before it truly begins? Stay tuned… 🔍👀
