In what could be one of the most significant transfer developments of the summer, Liverpool have made meaningful progress in their pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, following a notable update from respected transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Isak, who netted 25 goals in all competitions last season and has become one of the Premier League’s standout forwards, is now seen as a viable signing for the Reds. Romano reports that Newcastle have privately indicated a willingness to sell their star striker, creating an opening for Liverpool to act.
This shift comes amid financial constraints at Newcastle, as the club looks to meet the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Consequently, they’re now open to significant bids for Isak — and Liverpool appear poised to take advantage.
Romano stated: “Liverpool are seriously looking at striker options. There’s genuine interest in Isak. Newcastle haven’t ruled out a sale if a suitable offer comes in. Internal talks are ongoing at Anfield.”
With Darwin Núñez’s future uncertain and Napoli reportedly interested in the Uruguayan, Liverpool’s need for a top-tier striker is growing. Isak, known for his composure, skill, and finishing ability, is now emerging as a prime target for new manager Arne Slot.
Slot sees the Swedish striker as an ideal fit for his style of play — dynamic, sharp in front of goal, and capable of connecting attacks. While negotiations are still in early stages, things are moving quickly.
Could Isak be the next Anfield superstar?
Liverpool fans, get ready — the Arne Slot era is gaining momentum, and Alexander Isak could be the marquee signing to lead it.
