Liverpool are looking to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, and they are ready to pay a British transfer record fee for him.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Liverpool are prepared to pay a whopping £150 million to sign 25-year-old Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. Meanwhile, an update from Football Insider has claimed that they are confident of agreeing on the deal to sign him.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can secure an agreement with Newcastle United. The Magpies are unwilling to sell their key player, especially to a Premier League rival. However, the Swedish striker seems determined to secure the move, and Newcastle United will be under pressure to cash in.
Liverpool need a reliable striker this summer, especially considering the way Darwin Nunez performed last season. He scored just seven goals in all competitions. Isak would be a tremendous upgrade on the South American. The 25-year-old is arguably the best striker in the Premier League right now, and he can add a new dimension to the Liverpool attack.
Liverpool have been very active in the transfer market so far, but they have recently sanctioned the departure of Luis Diaz. He is expected to join German champions Bayern Munich. Liverpool will need to replace him as well. Signing the 25-year-old Newcastle star could be ideal. The Swede is capable of operating as a centre-forward as well as on the flanks. He could form a solid partnership with Mohamed Salah and summer signing Hugo Ekitike.
Isak will fancy a big move
The opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite attractive for Alexander Isak as well. They will be able to provide him with the platform to fight for major trophies. Although Newcastle have an ambitious project and an exciting team, they are not quite at that level yet. The Swede is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to join a team where he will be able to win major trophies. The move to Liverpool could not be better timed.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can wrap up a successful window by signing the Swedish international in the coming days. If they manage to sign a player like him, it could take them to a whole new level and help them defend their domestic crown next season.
