Liverpool are pushing hard in their efforts to sign Newcastle Unitedβs star forward Alexander Isak, as talks between the clubs have officially commenced. Sources close to the deal describe it as βserious and acceleratingβ, with Isak open to the move and personal terms no longer an obstacle.
π£ Key Developments:
Liverpool have made contact with Isakβs camp weeks ago β and the striker has made it clear heβs intrigued by Arne Slotβs project.
The Swedish international, currently on a Β£300,000-a-week deal at Newcastle, is considered one of the most lethal finishers in Europe, with many labeling him the βbest striker in the worldβ outside the elite Messi-MbappΓ©-Haaland trio.
Club-to-club negotiations are now underway, with Liverpool believed to be preparing a structured offer including a high guaranteed fee and significant bonuses.
π Why This Matters:
Isak scored 21 Premier League goals last season despite Newcastleβs struggles β showing immense movement, composure, and elite technique.
Arne Slot views him as the ideal No.9 to lead a refreshed attack next season, potentially in a front three alongside Wirtz and DΓaz or Salah (if he stays).
The move signals Liverpool’s willingness to compete at the highest level again, going toe-to-toe with Europeβs best.
π₯ Whatβs Next:
Talks will continue this week, with Liverpool aiming to strike a deal before pre-season begins.
Newcastleβs financial situation could make them more open to selling, especially if the offer nears the Β£90β100M mark.
Anfield could be witnessing the birth of a new eraβand Alexander Isak m
ay soon be the face of it.
