Alexander Isak has emerged as Liverpool’s number one striker target ahead of the summer as they look to replace Darwin Nunez ahead of next season. Newcastle United do not want to sell, but the Merseyside giants are keen to test the Magpies’ resolve in the next window.
Liverpool are marching towards winning the Premier League title this season. However, Arne Slot wants to radically change the makeup of his forward line in the summer.
The Reds boss wants to add wide forwards to the squad to replace players such as Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, potentially. But the club are prioritising signing a new number 9.
Nunez has not been good enough again this season, and the Reds are pushing to secure a deal to sign Isak from Newcastle in the next summer transfer window.

Liverpool prepare mega Alexander Isak bid
Isak has long been identified as the top target for Liverpool for the summer, as he is seen as one of the best strikers in world football at the moment.
However, Newcastle have been reluctant to sell him and are expected to offer him a new contract to further secure his future at St. James’ Park.
However, Liverpool have renewed confidence in signing since Mo Salah signed a new contract, and they are now preparing a big offer for him.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are ready to offer a bid of £130m to test Newcastle’s resolve in the summer transfer window.
The Reds are aware that Newcastle do not want to sell him, but believe that a bid of such magnitude would force them to change their stand on Isak.
The forward would likely prefer a move to Liverpool, given they are set to be Premier League champions and will be a strong contender in the Champions League next season.
