The transfer drama surrounding Alexander Isak and Liverpool FC is picking up pace, and developments are unfolding quickly. Sources close to the matter have confirmed that the Swedish striker is now awaiting an official bid from Liverpool, as behind-the-scenes negotiations begin to ramp up.
Isak, who netted 21 goals for Newcastle United last season, is said to be well aware of the Reds’ interest and is open to the move. Personal terms are unlikely to be a stumbling block, with insiders suggesting the 25-year-old is enthusiastic about the prospect of leading Arne Slot’s attacking line in a revamped Liverpool setup. He views a switch to Anfield as a major career leap and is reportedly intrigued by Slot’s progressive playing style.
🪐 Adding a twist to the deal, there is speculation that Diogo Jota could be offered as part of a player-plus-cash agreement to lower Newcastle’s current valuation of over £90 million. The Magpies have long admired Jota’s versatility and his knack for turning up in big games. Given Newcastle’s tight position under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), such a swap could benefit both parties.
A source close to the negotiations shared:
“Newcastle have always liked Jota. He’s Premier League-proven, can operate across the front three, and would ease the loss of someone like Isak.”
Liverpool are currently weighing their options, but there’s increasing momentum behind the scenes. A formal approach could come within days, as the Reds prepare to make their move.
🔥 Liverpool fans, get ready.
This transfer saga is just beginning to heat up—and if the club decides to go all-in, this could be a statement signing that kicks off the Arne Slot era in style.
