Liverpool are reportedly ready to shatter the British transfer record for the second time this summer as they intensify their efforts to land Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
Key Points:
- Liverpool are preparing an offer exceeding £115 million, surpassing the record fee they spent on Florian Wirtz earlier in the transfer window.
- Isak, 24, is a top target for new manager Arne Slot, who sees the Swedish forward as the perfect focal point for his attacking system.
- With Newcastle feeling the squeeze from Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), Liverpool view this as a prime opportunity to make their move.
