With Newcastle digging their heels in over a potential move for Alexander Isak, Liverpool have quietly drawn up a six-man shortlist to keep their attacking plans alive this summer 🔥.
Despite floating the idea of a record-breaking offer, believed to be in the region of £120 million, the Magpies remain firm—Isak is not for sale. The Swedish striker netted 23 Premier League goals last season, and Eddie Howe’s camp has shown no signs of budging, even amid claims that Liverpool’s pursuit might be an effort to “unsettle” the player.
🔴 No official bid has gone in yet, but the message from Anfield is clear—they’re ready to pivot if necessary.
So, who are the names on Liverpool’s radar if the Isak chase fails? 👀
One intriguing twist is the Reds’ interest in a forward Newcastle themselves tried to sign—a £70m bid already turned down. That player? A rising French talent currently playing in the Bundesliga.
In addition, Liverpool have reignited their admiration for Hugo Ekitike, and are also keeping close tabs on Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Brentford’s Yoane Wissa. There’s even been chatter with Napoli regarding Victor Osimhen, reportedly linked to ongoing talks that involve Darwin Nunez.
As Arne Slot settles into life at Anfield, it’s clear Liverpool are preparing for every possible outcome. Whether Newcastle cracks or not, the Reds are moving with precision and ambition 😤🔴.
