Liverpool is currently engaged in discussions regarding a record offer with Newcastle United for Alexander Isak, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.Since joining Newcastle, Isak has emerged as one of the premier strikers in global football, prompting interest from various clubs across Europe eager to secure his services. However, this pursuit has proven challenging due to Newcastle’s firm position on retaining the forward, as they are understandably keen to hold onto a player of his exceptional quality.
This summer, Liverpool is actively seeking a new centre-forward after having bolstered other areas of the squad earlier in the transfer window.
With the arrivals of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez already confirmed, the need for a new striker has become pressing, particularly in light of Darwin Nunez’s underwhelming performance thus far.
According to a report by Romano on X, Liverpool has initiated club-to-club negotiations regarding a record offer for Newcastle striker Isak.
The Magpies are reluctant to part with Isak and are aiming to present him with a new contract; however, Liverpool has commenced discussions in an effort to lure him away from St James’ Park.
On his YouTube channel, Romano has confirmed that Liverpool have made a direct approach for the Swedish striker as they look to complete a blockbuster deal.
confirmed back in June that Liverpool were prepared to make Isak the most expensive recruit in British history, and it appears they are now trying to do just that.
David Ornstein has followed up with a claim that a £120m deal would be of interest to Liverpool.
