Rumors are intensifying, and this time Liverpool seems determined to go to the end. After a first refusal of Newcastle, the Reds are preparing to make a new colossal offer for Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker, who no longer hides his desire to join Anfield, has become the offensive priority of the summer for the Mersey club. An offer estimated at 100 million pounds would be in the pipes, and could climb to 120.
According to Sky Sports, Isak has also given its agreement in principle for a five -year contract with Liverpool, which would offer him a more than doubled salary compared to his current emoluments in Newcastle. Related from the group due to an alleged thigh injury, the former Real Sociedad player would actually have made a transfer request. A decisive meeting between the two clubs would be planned in the coming 48 hours.
Liverpool is activated on all fronts
To materialize this operation, Liverpool is preparing a wave of sales. According to The Mirror, Luis Diaz could be sold to Bayern, while Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton were placed on the transfers list. This maneuver aims to free up the wage bill but also from the offensive space to welcome Isak, perceived as the lack of an already very competitive workforce.
The recent arrival of Hugo Ekitike, initially targeted by Newcastle to compensate for a possible departure from Isak, further complicates the situation for the Magpies. If the Swedish leaves, the northeast club may find itself without real replacement, which strengthens the pressure around the file.
Isak, a symbolic transfer transfer
Isak is under contract until 2028, which gives Newcastle a position of strength. But faced with the player's assertive will, negotiations now seem inevitable. For Liverpool, who hopes a rebound after a mixed season, the arrival of a player of this caliber would be a strong signal. The ball is in the Magpies camp, but the outcome could be played very quickly.
