Newcastle’s star striker, Alexander Isak, is reportedly keen on a move to Liverpool, according to TEAMtalk sources. The Swedish international has been one of Europe’s standout forwards this season, scoring 17 Premier League goals, making him a highly sought-after player.
Newcastle is determined to keep Isak and plans to offer him a lucrative new contract this summer to deter interest from other clubs. Arsenal is also interested in the 25-year-old and considers him a top target, though his £120 million valuation could complicate any potential transfer.
Speculation linking Isak to Liverpool has intensified, especially after former player Jamie Carragher publicly encouraged the club to sign him. Sources suggest Isak is particularly attracted to Liverpool due to their consistent presence in the Champions League and ability to compete for major trophies.
Newcastle is aware of Isak’s ambitions and is pushing hard to secure a top-four finish, which could be crucial in convincing him to stay. However, whether Liverpool is prepared to make a substantial bid remains uncertain.
Liverpool’s Transfer Approach
Liverpool is known for being strategic with transfers, only making significant investments if they are convinced a player will improve their starting lineup and is eager to join. While they are in the market for a striker this summer—partly due to uncertainty surrounding Darwin Nunez—there has been no official confirmation of a bid for Isak.
He is on Liverpool’s shortlist, but any formal move depends on whether Newcastle signals a willingness to sell. If Isak declines a new contract, Liverpool could capitalize on the situation. However, should Newcastle secure Champions League qualification, he is likely to remain at the club, as he is under contract until 2028, giving Newcastle strong leverage in negotiations.
Other Transfer News
Liverpool is also exploring other signings. They are reportedly in talks with the agents of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, with Bournemouth valuing him at around £40 million.
Additionally, the club is monitoring Benfica’s Alvaro Fernandez Carreras, a former Manchester United left-back. The 21-year-old has had an impressive season with Benfica, making 34 appearances and contributing three goals and four assists. Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, is reportedly in contact regarding a possible deal for the young defender.
