Liverpool are gunning to sign a new number 9 to replace Darwin Nunez in the summer, and Alexander Isak has been their top target. Newcastle United do not want to sell their star man, but it has now emerged that Mo Salah could end up delivering the assist that would take Isak to Anfield in the summer.
The Reds are marching towards winning the Premier League title, but Arne Slot remains committed to reconfiguring the Liverpool attack ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Mo Salah signed a new deal to extend his stay, but he could still leave next year. However, Liverpool remain keen to sign a new number 9, and Alexander Isak is the forward they want.
Newcastle United are hell-bent on ensuring that they hold on to one of the best strikers in the world, but the Reds remain determined, and it is Salah who will help them land the Sweden international.
Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?
Mo Salah to deliver the Alexander Isak assist in the summer

Salah’s new two-year contract has arrived as welcome news for Liverpool fans who were worried about losing the Premier League icon this summer on a free transfer.
However, the successful negotiations have also made Liverpool more confident about attacking the next transfer window with renewed determination.
Isak remains their top number 9 target, and according to TBR Football, Liverpool believe that Salah’s staying will inspire the Swede to push for a move to Anfield.
The Egyptian is the kind of player who can create chance after chance for a striker of Isak’s quality, and Liverpool are confident that playing with Salah would be a huge temptation for the forward.
Newcastle United do not want to entertain offers, but are aware that they will need to offer him a contract that would make him by far the highest-paid player at St. James’ Park to have any chance of keeping him.
Champions League football next season will also play a vital role in deciding whether Isak stays at Newcastle.
