Alexander Isak Makes Bold Claim: Ready to Join Liverpool—If Julian Alvarez Signs First
In a surprising twist that could impact Liverpool’s transfer plans, Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has announced he’d be willing to join the Merseyside club—under one condition: Liverpool must first sign Julian Alvarez.
“I saw the reports that Alvarez wants to leave his current team and is interested in Liverpool,” Isak commented. “He’s one of my favorite players. I’ve always wanted to play alongside him. If any top Premier League club signs him—especially Liverpool—I’ll be ready to follow immediately. Ideally, I want that club to be Liverpool.”
Alvarez, who moved from Manchester City to Atlético Madrid in August 2024 in a deal worth around €95 million (£81.5 million), has been impressive this season, netting 27 goals in 52 games. Despite his success, rumors of a Premier League return persist, with Liverpool reportedly keen on the Argentine.
Still, Atlético’s sporting director, Carlos Busero, has denied the transfer chatter, stating that Alvarez is a central figure in the club’s plans and has no intention of leaving.
Isak’s public comments could be a tactical move, potentially aligning himself with Liverpool’s future goals, especially if they secure Alvarez. The Swedish striker, who’s been linked with both Liverpool and Arsenal, may be using this opportunity to express his preference.
Fans are already getting excited about the idea. The potential partnership between Isak and Alvarez at Anfield is generating a lot of buzz, promising an electric attacking force.
This could be a game-changing moment. Supporters are urging Liverpool to act quickly. Bringing in both Isak and Alvarez would be a powerful statement.
The ball is now in Liverpool’s court.
