Liverpool Step Up Pursuit of Alexander Isak with Record-Breaking Bid in Sight
Fresh off their Premier League triumph, Liverpool are ramping up their summer transfer activity—and now have their sights firmly set on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
Following key signings like Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and expected arrival Milos Kerkez, Liverpool are reportedly preparing another major move, this time in attack.
According to GiveMeSport, the Reds have re-entered the race for Isak and are ready to challenge the British transfer record to secure the Swedish star. The 24-year-old was in sensational form for Newcastle last season, scoring 26 goals and supplying six assists in 42 appearances.
Despite Newcastle’s qualification for next season’s Champions League, the club may consider letting Isak go for a fee exceeding £150 million—a sum Liverpool are said to be seriously contemplating.
To finance the move, Liverpool could offload Darwin Núñez, who continues to draw interest from Napoli, Atletico Madrid, and clubs in the Saudi Pro League. In addition to Núñez, players like Harvey Elliott, Luis Díaz, and Diogo Jota have all been linked with potential exits that could generate further funds.
If a deal for Isak proves unfeasible, Liverpool may shift focus to alternative targets, including Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike, or Julian Alvarez.
As the Arne Slot era gathers momentum, Liverpool’s aggressive approach in the market signals their intent to build a squad capable of defending their crown—and making a serious impact in Europe.
