Alexander Isak is the top target for Liverpool as they push to sign a striker in the summer. He is one of the best number 9s in the world, but a deal to sign him would be complicated. However, there is now one less club in the race to sign the Swede in the summer.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has lost his faith in Darwin Nunez, who is almost certain to move on from Anfield in the next transfer window. Slot is the player the Reds want.
The Newcastle star is considered one of the best strikers in the Premier League, and the Merseyside giants are pushing to sign the forward in the next window.
Arsenal are also interested in the striker, but now Liverpool have to worry about one less club in the race to sign the attacker in the summer transfer window.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Club unlikely to sign Alexander Isak
Newcastle do not want to sell the striker, and it could take as much as £130m to snare him away from St. James’ Park in the next transfer window.
He is the dream target for Arsenal, and even Barcelona have been linked with an interest in Isak, who is seen as the long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, he is certainly expected to be far too expensive for Barcelona in the summer.
The Catalan giants can’t afford to splash out £130m on a single player, and a deal to take him to the Nou Camp would be far too complicated.
Liverpool have the money to test Newcastle’s resolve and are prepared to splash out big to get their hands on Isak in the summer.
