Liverpool are reportedly weighing up a bold swap deal in a renewed bid to secure long-time target Alexander Isak from Newcastle United this summer.
The Swedish forward has been exceptional since joining the Magpies, drawing interest from both Liverpool and Arsenal thanks to his standout displays.
However, Newcastle are likely to set a steep asking price for Isak, particularly after a successful season that saw them claim silverware and earn a Champions League spot. Selling him would be a major move for the club.
According to the Daily Express, Liverpool may look to ease the financial burden by including Harvey Elliott as part of the deal.
With Isak’s valuation said to be over £150 million, a player-plus-cash offer could be the most realistic strategy for Liverpool. Newcastle are reportedly fans of Elliott, making him a potential asset in negotiations.
The 22-year-old midfielder has yet to cement a regular starting role at Anfield and might benefit from a new challenge—especially after impressing for England’s U21 side this summer, a showing that could boost his attractiveness to clubs like Newcastle.
