šØ Liverpool Eye Shock Move for Alexander Isak ā and It Could Cost Gakpo His Place
Liverpool could be on the brink of a seismic shift in their attacking lineup, with one major name at the center of it all: Alexander Isak.
Multiple sources now report that Liverpool have made a verbal commitment to sign the Newcastle United striker, in what would mark one of the boldest transfers of the summer window. Known for his clinical finishing, intelligent off-the-ball movement, and elegant technique, the Swedish international has been on the Redsā radar for some time ā and it seems theyāre now ready to act.
But bold moves often come at a price.
With a deal for Isak potentially in the works, Liverpool may be prepared to offload Cody Gakpo, who arrived from PSV for Ā£37.5 million in January 2023. Despite moments of brilliance and commendable versatility, Gakpo has struggled to lock down a consistent spot in the starting XI and may now find himself surplus to requirements under new head coach Arne Slot.
Slot is reportedly keen to recruit a traditional No. 9, someone to lead the line with authority ā and Isak fits that mold to perfection. With Darwin NĆŗƱez still in the squad, and emerging talents like Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon expected to get more minutes, Gakpoās future at Anfield has suddenly come under serious doubt.
Behind the scenes, the gears may already be turning. Several top European clubs are believed to be monitoring Gakpoās situation, with a return to the Eredivisie or a switch to Serie A seen as likely options if he’s pushed out.
This developing saga highlights Liverpoolās ruthless intent as they reshape their squad for the Slot era. A potential Isak arrival wouldnāt just energize the fanbase ā it could trigger a dramatic domino effect in the frontline.
š As negotiations quietly progress, all eyes are now on Liverpool and Newcastle. If Isak makes the move, Gakpo may soon be heading for the exit.
Stay tuned. This summer at Anfield is just getting started.
