Liverpool are seriously exploring the signing of a new striker this summer — and their top target is clear: Alexander Isak.
With Darwin Núñez struggling for consistent form, new manager Arne Slot is eyeing a reliable goal-scorer to lead the line. While names like Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike have been linked to Anfield, Isak remains the club’s number one choice.
The Swedish international has had a standout season at Newcastle United, scoring 24 goals in 35 appearances. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has praised Isak’s consistency and confidence, saying, “He’s been outstanding this year… a regular scorer since day one.”
Now, Liverpool have received a major boost in their chase for the 25-year-old forward. According to *Calcio Mercato*, Newcastle have reportedly reached out to Fiorentina about signing striker Moise Kean — a possible sign they’re preparing for life without Isak.
Although Newcastle will fight to keep him, their interest in Kean suggests they may be open to letting Isak leave if the right offer comes in.
For Liverpool, Isak would be a huge upgrade and an instant starter. He could solve the finishing problems that have persisted this season, even with Mohamed Salah still delivering.
With Arne Slot set to revamp the squad in several areas, bringing in a clinical striker like Isak could be the centerpiece of Liverpool’s summer plans.
