It is the transfer that agitates the Premier League at the moment. Alexander Isak wants to join Liverpool and has already been the subject of a first offer of € 138 million, refused by Newcastle. The toons have no intention of separating from their attacker, they who target the heights of the English and European championship. They are also qualified for the Champions League this season and count on Isak to shine. Except that the latter does everything to force his departure, like that of not running for training.
It was not at all appreciated by the direction of the Magpies, who intend to make him pay for his behavior. On the one hand, they will not facilitate his departure, on the other hand, Isak, returned to training, performs sessions on the margins of the group, alone. He awaits the second offer of Reds which should intervene in the coming days that his case already reacted to Liverpool. The talent of the 25 -year -old is not called into question but the debate relates above all to the amount of the transfer and the real needs of the Mersey club in this position.
“”£ 150 m is the price to hire Mbappé»»
In other words, does Liverpool really make the right choice by wanting to afford the attacker? “”This is the question posed for example Jamie Carragher. It will be an incredible signature. But from the point of view to support Liverpool, I do not want the club to spend 150 million pounds sterling (€ 170 million) for Isak. This is the price to hire Mbappé“, The club's former defender, now a star consultant for the English media, is alarmed. According to him, it also calls into question the arrival of Hugo Ektike, who came to him for € 90 million two weeks ago.
“I imagine that Isak was the number one target of Liverpool, but there is something that does not suit me when you buy an attacker (Ekitike) for 80 million pounds sterling to be replacement.” The departure of Darwin Nunez for Al-Hilal should not really change the situation for the French, who was leaving a step ahead of the Uruguayan. He will be a priori the deputy of Isak or his supplement of attack according to the tactical configurations. Another problem that controversial in Liverpool, the player's forcing to leave his current club.
What about Ekitike?
“It is not a strange scenario. It happens all the time ”Dramatizes Michael Owen, former Liverpool star who also passed by Newcastle. Shaun Wright-Phillips is much more categorical. Isak got fault. “I think he managed the situation very badly. Everyone knows that he wanted to leave, but he should have gone to train. You have to show a little respect for your teammates, come to training and go home. ” The Swedish has not even arrived that his transfer is already debated among the Reds.
