Liverpool are set to launch a shock £100m bid for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak in July, as the club look to make a major statement in the summer transfer market. The Swedish international has impressed with his Premier League performances, and sources suggest Arne Slot sees him as a potential marquee signing. The move, if completed, would mark one of the biggest deals of the window.
Isak is the number one target for Liverpool as they seek to bring in a marquee number 9 this summer as part of their plans for the ongoing transfer window.
Liverpool have already broken the British transfer record for Florian Wirtz’s signing this year, but the club remain determined to try their luck with a huge bid for the Newcastle striker.
The Magpies are insistent that they will not sell Isak and are expected to offer him a new contract that will make him the highest-paid player at St. James’ Park. However, they remain wary of a Liverpool bid for him.

According to The Times, Newcastle are concerned about an incoming Liverpool bid for Isak in July.
Despite their bravado on the outside, the Magpies remain worried about watching their best player leave for Anfield this summer.
Newcastle believe Liverpool still have the funds to offer in excess of £100m for the Swedish striker in the ongoing transfer window.
Liverpool have been in talks with his representatives, and are aware Isak would be prepared to move if they could agree a fee with Newcastle.
The Magpies do not want to sell the forward, and have been left annoyed by the constant links around Isak joining the Premier League champions.
However, they are worried that a Liverpool bid in July could set the cat among the pigeons.
