🔴 Isak Keeps Door Open to Liverpool as Reds Intensify Ekitike Pursuit – Fabrizio Romano Update
Fabrizio Romano has offered fresh insight into Alexander Isak’s stance amid Liverpool’s ongoing search for a new striker this summer.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the transfer expert confirmed that Liverpool are now ramping up their efforts to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. However, Romano also revealed that Newcastle’s Alexander Isak remains on Liverpool’s radar — and the Swedish forward is not ruling out a move to Anfield.
🧊 Isak Staying Calm, But Listening
“From what I’m hearing, Alexander Isak is very relaxed,” said Romano.
“He knows Newcastle want to keep him and are preparing a big new contract. But at the same time, he’s aware Liverpool could offer not just a strong financial deal, but also an exciting long-term project. He hasn’t shut the door on that opportunity.”
While Newcastle are highly unlikely to sell Isak to a Premier League rival without a massive offer, Liverpool’s interest hasn’t cooled — a sign that the Reds believe the player is open to the idea of joining.
⚔️ Isak vs. Ekitike – Who Fits Best at Anfield?
The debate among Liverpool supporters continues:
Go for the proven Premier League striker in Isak, or invest in the raw potential of Ekitike?
- Isak, 24, has established himself as one of the most clinical and intelligent forwards in the league. He boasts a strong goal-scoring record and has experience against top-tier English sides.
- Ekitike, on the other hand, is still untested in the Premier League but is viewed as a dynamic, modern forward with the potential to thrive under Arne Slot’s high-intensity system.
Still, fans are wary. Liverpool’s experience with Darwin Núñez, who arrived with high expectations from Benfica but has delivered mixed results, serves as a cautionary tale about relying too heavily on talent from less competitive leagues.
⏳ What’s Next?
With talks for Ekitike progressing and Isak’s situation still fluid, Liverpool’s striker hunt is entering a decisive phase. The final choice could shape the club’s attacking identity for years to come.
