Liverpool are in the market for a number 9, and a large chunk of their summer transfer budget will be directed towards signing a top striker. However, it seems the Reds are plotting to sign the best forward in the world by some measures in the upcoming transfer window.
Alexander Isak seems like an impossible dream for Liverpool this summer, as Newcastle United have not moved an inch from their stance of not wanting to sell the Swede.
Liverpool will not offer silly money for him, and the alternatives they are considering are also set to be expensive, but also not proven at the Premier League level.
Having Premier League experience is something the Reds would prefer, and it appears Liverpool are gearing up to make a move for a living legend in the upcoming transfer window.

Will they really go for HIM this summer?
Harry Kane has won his first major honour of his career this season when he lifted the Bundesliga title, scoring 28 league goals in the process.
The England captain has shown no signs of slowing down, netting 38 goals in all competitions this season, and there are murmurs of him returning to England this summer.
Liverpool are among the clubs that are in the market for a proven number 9, and journalist Graeme Bailey has not ruled out the 31-year-old returning to the Premier League.
“I am still hearing Harry Kane’s name coming up. We are really going to have a real shuffle of the pack this summer when it comes to strikers. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all looking for strikers”, Bailey told TBR Football.
“People close to Kane have been asked the question, but say nothing is going to happen – but I can say there are some in football who keep saying watch out for him this summer. I don’t really expect a move, but never say never; this is a crazy market.”
Kane could still want to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League goals record, and also lift the league title in his home country for the first time.
He has a £67m release clause in his contract, which will drop to £54m for clubs in England in the January transfer window.
