Liverpool set to boost bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to revisit the transfer of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak with an enhanced bid, after their initial offer of approximately £110 million was rejected by the Carabao Cup champions.

Liverpool remain hopeful of securing Newcastle’s star striker during the summer transfer window, despite their initial bid being rejected by Eddie Howe’s side..

According to Fichajes, Liverpool are now preparing to make an improved offer in the region of £138.4 million (€160m)for the Swedish international.

The potential transfer of Isak from Newcastle to Liverpool has been quite unclear at first glance. A situation complicated by differing opinions from both sides.

The 25-year-old Swedish striker has expressed his desire to leave Newcastle, but the Magpies remain firm in their resolve to retain him, at least for this season.

It will be intriguing to see if Liverpool’s enhanced offer can persuade Newcastle to part with the player.

Isak is currently the Premier League’s top striker and would be an outstanding addition for Liverpool, who are ready to shatter the league’s transfer record again to secure the deal.

Having already secured attacking reinforcements with French star Hugo Ekitike and German sensation Florian Wirtz for a British transfer record of £120 million plus add-ons, Liverpool are determined to further enhance their firepower in their bid to retain the Premier League title.

A move for Isak to Liverpool this summer is seen as ideal, with the Reds offering Champions League football to the league’s top marksman, along with a strong chance to win the prestigious Premier League title.

Newcastle have shown progress in recent seasons but remain below the level required to win major trophies. Despite qualifying for the UEFA Champions League this season, the player envisions his future elsewhere.

Isak, out of frustration, in a social media post last night, revealed that his relationship with Newcastle is irreparably damaged and unsustainable, leaving it uncertain whether the club will be compelled to reconsider their stance.

It’s clear why Newcastle are reluctant to release their star man, but retaining him against his will seems illogical. Isak has already opted out of pre-season training with the club and declined to participate in their Premier League opener.
