Liverpool Planning Sale of £235,000-a-Week Trio to Fund Alexander Isak Move
Liverpool is reportedly preparing to offload Luis Díaz, Harvey Elliott, and Darwin Núñez in a bid to generate funds for a major summer transfer: the signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, according to Fichajes.net.
Traditionally known for their cautious spending, Liverpool have taken a different approach this summer, splashing out on several high-profile acquisitions — and the activity isn’t slowing down.
While there have been tentative links to Douglas Luiz from Juventus, the club’s primary focus remains on Isak, who is believed to be open to a move away from Newcastle.
Big Sales to Back a Bold Signing
Despite having already spent significantly — including deals for Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike — Liverpool remain firmly in pursuit of Isak. His arrival would not only reinforce the squad but also underline Liverpool’s intent to stay at the top following their 2024/25 title-winning campaign.
However, such a deal won’t come cheap. To meet Newcastle’s valuation, estimated to exceed £120 million, Liverpool must first trim their squad. The club is reportedly targeting sales of Elliott, Núñez, and Díaz — a trio that collectively earns £235,000 per week.
Departures on the Horizon
- Luis Díaz has drawn strong interest from Bayern Munich, and with the Colombian winger said to be keen on a new challenge, his exit now appears increasingly likely — particularly with Bayern having submitted a fresh bid.
- Darwin Núñez, whose future has been uncertain under Arne Slot, remains on the radar of Napoli and Al-Hilal, the latter emerging as front-runners from the Saudi Pro League.
- Harvey Elliott, fresh off a standout showing at the U21 European Championship with England, is also seen as a valuable asset. West Ham United are among the clubs showing serious interest, and his sale could command a sizeable fee.
What This Means for Liverpool
By offloading the trio, Liverpool hope to generate the necessary resources to land Isak, a striker whose technical quality, pace, and finishing ability could elevate the club’s front line to new heights. The plan reflects Liverpool’s ambition to sustain their momentum under Slot and challenge for major honours again in 2025/26 — but it also signals the start of a significant reshaping of the squad.
Further developments are expected in the coming days as Liverpool work to balance ambition with financial strategy.
