Liverpool Manager Arne Slot Approves Three Player Sales to Fund Isak Transfer
Arne Slot has given the go-ahead for Liverpool to sell three players as the club aims to secure Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this summer. With Newcastle demanding a hefty transfer fee, Liverpool is looking to offload squad members to raise the necessary funds.
Isak Identified as Key Target
Liverpool is keen to bolster its attacking options for the upcoming season, with Isak emerging as a top priority. The Swedish forward has impressed at Newcastle with his speed, technical skill, and goal-scoring ability. However, with a reported price tag of £90-100 million, Liverpool must generate funds before making a formal bid.
Three Players Set to Depart
To facilitate the move, Slot has approved the sale of three players who are not part of Liverpool’s long-term plans. While their names have not been officially confirmed, reports suggest:
- Luis Díaz could be sold if a suitable offer comes in, with clubs in Spain and Saudi Arabia showing interest.
- Caoimhín Kelleher, Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper, may leave in search of regular playing time, with several Premier League teams tracking him.
- Kostas Tsimikas, the Greek left-back, is also expected to depart as Liverpool looks for a younger replacement.
These departures could generate over £70 million, bringing Liverpool closer to Newcastle’s valuation of Isak.
Fans Await Official Announcements
With Slot reshaping the squad, Liverpool supporters are eagerly awaiting official confirmation of these exits and potential new signings. Bringing in Isak would be a major statement, enhancing Liverpool’s attacking firepower and adding a new dimension to their frontline.
