The pursuit of Alexander Isak by Liverpool is heating up fast. Sources reveal that the Swedish striker is waiting for Liverpool to submit their first official offer, as discussions behind the scenes pick up pace.
Isak, who netted 21 goals for Newcastle United last season, is well aware of Liverpool’s interest and is reportedly excited about the opportunity to play a key role in Arne Slot’s new-look attack. Personal terms are unlikely to be an issue, with those close to the player suggesting the 25-year-old is eager for the move — drawn by both Anfield’s prestige and Slot’s dynamic attacking style.
In a surprising development, talks suggest Diogo Jota might be included in the deal to lower Newcastle’s asking price, which stands at over £90 million. Newcastle has long admired Jota for his versatility and knack for performing in crucial moments. With the Magpies needing to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), a deal involving both cash and a player could suit both sides.
A source familiar with the negotiations shared:
“Newcastle have always appreciated Jota. He’s a proven Premier League talent, adaptable across the front line, and would help soften the blow of losing Isak.”
Liverpool’s decision-makers are weighing their next steps carefully, but momentum is building, with a formal bid expected soon — possibly within days.
Liverpool fans, stay tuned. This story is just getting started and could become one of the summer’s biggest transfers, signaling a bold new era under Arne Slot
