The Alexander Isak–Liverpool saga is rapidly gathering momentum. Sources close to the situation have confirmed that the Swedish striker is awaiting Liverpool’s opening bid as talks behind the scenes intensify.
Isak, who scored 21 goals for Newcastle United last season, is fully aware of Liverpool’s interest and is reportedly enthusiastic about the prospect of becoming a central figure in Arne Slot’s revamped attack. Personal terms are not expected to be a stumbling block, with insiders indicating that the 25-year-old is keen on the move — drawn by Anfield’s status and intrigued by Slot’s bold, attacking philosophy.
🪐 In an intriguing twist, there are whispers that Diogo Jota could be offered as part of the deal to reduce Newcastle’s valuation, which currently exceeds £90 million. The Magpies have long been admirers of Jota’s versatility and big-game pedigree. Given Newcastle’s need to navigate Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), a player-plus-cash package could help bridge the gap between both clubs.
A source close to the talks explained:
“Newcastle have always liked Jota. He’s proven in the Premier League, can play across the front line, and would ease the pain of losing a player like Isak.”
Liverpool’s hierarchy is carefully plotting their next move, but there’s a growing sense that formal contact will come soon — potentially even within the week.
🔥 Buckle up, Liverpool fans — this saga is only just beginning. If the Reds go all-in, it could be one of the defining deals of the summer, signaling the dawn of an exciting new chapter under Arne Slot.
