🔴 Fabrizio Romano Shares Update on Alexander Isak Amid Liverpool Interest
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has provided fresh insight into Alexander Isak’s stance as Liverpool weigh their attacking options this summer.
Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Romano revealed that while Liverpool are actively progressing in talks to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has also been a serious name on their shortlist.
Despite the growing momentum behind the Ekitike deal, Isak has not ruled out a possible move to Anfield.
Isak Remains Open to Liverpool Switch
According to Romano:
“From what I understand, Alexander Isak is quite calm. He knows Newcastle want to keep him and are ready to offer him an important contract. But he’s also aware that Liverpool could offer not just a strong financial package, but a very ambitious sporting project.”
Romano emphasized that Liverpool would not engage in club-to-club discussions unless they believed Isak was open to a potential move.
However, with Newcastle reportedly unwilling to strengthen a Premier League rival, any deal involving Isak may prove far more complicated than Ekitike’s, who plays outside of England and is seen as more attainable.
Isak or Ekitike — Who Should Liverpool Choose?
Among fans, the preference seems to lean toward Isak, who has already proven himself in the Premier League with consistent performances and goals against top opposition. His experience and physical profile make him an immediate fit.
Ekitike, on the other hand, is still viewed as a talent with potential rather than a finished product. His lack of Premier League experience raises questions, particularly in light of the mixed results seen with Darwin Núñez since his move from Benfica — a reminder of the risk in betting on players from less competitive leagues.
As Liverpool continue shaping their post-Klopp era under Arne Slot, the decision between the tested and reliable Isak versus the raw promise of Ekitike could define their attacking setup for years to come.
