Liverpool are making headway in their attempts to land a top summer target as the side close in on winning the Premier League title. There is now real hope that Arne Slot will end up having the man he has been keen to sign in the upcoming transfer window.
The Merseyside giants are putting plans in place for the next window while the team close in on winning the Premier League title this season.
Virgil van Dijk has already teased a big summer for the club, and the Reds are indeed gearing up for a window where there is expected to be a major revamp of the squad.
Slot wants a new number 9 to replace Darwin Nunez, and Liverpool are prepared to tempt Newcastle United’s resolve to hold on to Alexander Isak in the summer.

Liverpool target wants to play for a ‘trophy-winning machine’
Isak, who has scored 24 goals in all competitions this season, has more than three years left on his Newcastle United contract, but his future remains under the scanner.
Liverpool have identified him as the top target, and they are keen to tempt him to move to Anfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to TEAMTalk, Eddie Howe has made it clear to the Newcastle board that he does not want to lose any of his star players, including Isak.
However, Newcastle are likely to find it more complicated to keep the Swede if they do not qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Isak wants to play Champions League football, and in a team who are competing for all the major trophies like the Premier League.
A move to Liverpool is tempting for him, given the Reds are set to win the Premier League and will be a strong contender in next season’s Champions League.
