Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is reportedly confident of joining Liverpool in a late move in the final hours of the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Alexander Isak is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing another striker in the summer transfer window despite Hugo Ekitike’s exploits in his first few outings for the team. So, the 25-year-old Newcastle United centre-forward is the Merseyside club’s priority target.
The Swede has already told Newcastle United that he will not play for the Tyneside outfit again to force a move to Liverpool; he has also released a public statement on social media. The Premier League champions are now ready to present a big-money bid to sign Isak, and they will submit an offer worth around £150 million. Meanwhile, the player is confident he will secure his desired move.
Alexander Isak and his summer frustrations
Alexander Isak has been a constant talking point in the summer transfer window, as he has been pushing to leave Newcastle United and force a move to Liverpool. The 25-year-old has been one of the best strikers in the world since joining Newcastle United from Real Sociedad, and he was instrumental in a successful 2024/25 campaign for the Tyneside outfit.
The Swedish international has turned out over 100 times thus far for Newcastle United while amassing 62 goals and 11 assists. However, with Isak keen on sealing a summer move away from St. James’ Park, he may have no future at the Tyneside club. He wants to join Liverpool in the summer transfer window, with the Reds pushing hard for a big-money deal.
Will Liverpool sign Isak?
Liverpool’s interest in Alexander Isak is perplexing yet understandable. While Hugo Ekitike has been excellent in his first few outings as a Liverpool player, Darwin Nunez’s move to Al-Hilal has compelled the Merseyside outfit to pursue another striker. Additionally, the Newcastle United rebel is a market opportunity that is too good to refuse for any club.
While the Magpies have repeatedly insisted that they will not accept bids for Isak, he has been adamant about joining Liverpool. Meanwhile, the Premier League champions are still pursuing the 25-year-old Swede’s signature, and they are ready to present a big-money bid worth around £150 million to convince Newcastle United to part ways with Isak.
With Liverpool willing to break the bank to sign Isak, the Swedish international is increasingly optimistic about securing his desired move to Anfield. It will be interesting to see if a late move to the Merseyside club materialises.
