Liverpool’s pursuit of Newcastle star Alexander Isak gaining momentum

Isak has firmly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most prolific forwards

Liverpool’s interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is intensifying ahead of the summer transfer widow, according to GiveMeSport.

The Sweden international has firmly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most prolific forwards, with his performances for Newcastle earning widespread acclaim.

However, his future at St James’ Park is becoming increasingly uncertain.

While Newcastle have no intention of selling Isak, it is widely believed that they value the striker at a minimum of £120million – a figure they would consider as the baseline for any potential sale.

The club’s ability to qualify for the Champions League could prove crucial in shaping Isak’s future.

If Newcastle fail to secure a top-four finish, there is an expectation that Isak could push for a move in search of top-tier European football.

Liverpool Confident of Securing Isak Deal

Despite Isak’s high price tag, Liverpool’s confidence in securing a deal is raising eyebrows.

Key figures at Anfield believe a transfer is feasible, although the details remain uncertain. It is believed that private discussions have indicated the deal may be more attainable than previously thought.

As manager Arne Slot seeks to bolster his attacking options, Liverpool have also been linked with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, though they are not the only club monitoring Isak.

Arsenal, long-term admirers of the Swedish forward, have previously refrained from making a move due to financial constraints.

A deal closer to £100million could bring Liverpool into contention, but the structure of any transfer remains crucial.

If clubs can negotiate a payment plan that spreads the fee over manageable installments, it could attract more suitors and potentially trigger a bidding war.
