Liverpool are in urgent talks to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak in what could be a shock £150m blockbuster deal. With the Reds keen to bolster their attack and beat rival suitors to one of Europe’s most in-demand forwards, negotiations have accelerated dramatically in recent days. A deal of this scale would mark a serious statement of intent from Anfield.
Arne Slot wants to sign a new number 9 ahead of next season, with Darwin Nunez almost certain to leave Liverpool before the end of the ongoing transfer window.
Liverpool have already dropped a big £116m transfer with the arrival of Florian Wirtz, but they have more money to spend on a top striker this summer.
Alexander Isak has been their top target all summer, and Liverpool are ready to push for his signature in a shock £150m deal in the ongoing transfer window.

Liverpool in talks for a shock £150m deal to sign Isak
Newcastle are insistent that Isak is not for sale, but it seems the message is yet to get through to the Liverpool hierarchy.
According to Red Memorabilia, the Merseyside giants have continued to hold talks with the forward’s representatives for a move to Anfield this summer.
Isak is keen to join Liverpool and become part of a Premier League-winning squad and compete at the top of the table next season.
The Merseyside giants are yet to approach Newcastle, but will do so if they believe a deal can be done to sign the striker in the ongoing transfer window.
The Magpies do not want to sell, and it could take as much as £150m to convince the club to sell Isak this summer.
Liverpool would be prepared to break the British transfer record for the second time this summer if the forward becomes available.
