Liverpool FC is ramping up its pursuit of Newcastle United’s star striker, Alexander Isak, ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old Swedish forward has been in outstanding form, scoring 19 goals and providing five assists in 28 appearances this season, making him one of the most in-demand strikers in Europe.
While Newcastle is eager to keep Isak, they have reportedly set a price tag of over €100 million (£83.3 million) to ward off potential buyers.
However, Liverpool remains determined, seeing him as a key addition to strengthen their attacking options.
Sources suggest Isak is “very interested” in a move to Anfield, increasing the likelihood of a transfer. His long-standing admiration for Liverpool is well-known, as he once expressed a desire to play for the club nearly a decade ago.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Isak could also lead to squad changes, with reports indicating they might consider selling Luis Díaz to help fund the move.
Díaz has been a crucial player for the Reds but is attracting interest from top European clubs, including Barcelona.
Newcastle, meanwhile, is in a strong position, with Isak under contract until 2027 and no urgent need to sell. Manager Eddie Howe has praised the striker’s impact, highlighting his importance to the team’s long-term plans.
With financial factors, potential player sales, and competition from other clubs in play, Liverpool’s pursuit of Isak is set to be one of the major transfer stories of the summer.
