Liverpool’s chase for Alexander Isak is gathering serious pace, with the Swedish striker reportedly waiting for the Reds to make their first official move.
After a standout season with Newcastle United, where Isak racked up 21 goals, the 25-year-old is said to be keen on a potential switch to Anfield. The prospect of becoming a central figure in Arne Slot’s revamped forward line is believed to be a major attraction for the player.
Negotiations have been unfolding behind the scenes, and there’s a fresh twist — Diogo Jota may be used as part of the package to bring Isak to Merseyside. Newcastle, who value their striker at over £90 million, are thought to hold Jota in high regard due to his versatility and big-game impact. Including the Portuguese forward in the deal could help balance the books for both clubs, especially as the Magpies work to meet financial sustainability rules.
A source close to the discussions reportedly said:
> “Jota’s proven quality in the Premier League makes him a valuable asset. Including him in the deal might make things easier for Newcastle as they look to replace Isak.”
Liverpool are believed to be finalizing their approach, with an official bid anticipated soon. If all goes to plan, this could be one of the standout moves of the summer — and a statement of intent from the Arne Slot era.
