A major update has just emerged surrounding **Alexander Isak**, potentially altering Liverpool’s entire transfer approach this summer.
Since the start of June, the Reds have been actively exploring striker options to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season. While several names have been linked—including **Hugo Ekitike**, **Jean-Philippe Mateta**, and most notably **Alexander Isak**—the Swedish striker has long been reported as **Arne Slot’s top target**.
Up until now, Newcastle United have made their stance clear: **Isak is not for sale**. The 25-year-old forward is seen as a central figure in their long-term plans. However, fresh reports from **Fabrizio Romano** and **David Ornstein** suggest that Liverpool’s hopes of landing Isak are not dead yet.
According to Romano, Liverpool are now **preparing to formally approach Newcastle** with what could be a **record-breaking offer** for the Swedish star. Though the final decision rests with Newcastle, Liverpool are serious about making a move.
In parallel, Ornstein reports that while **no official bid has been submitted yet**, Liverpool believe a fee in the region of **£120 million** might be enough to tempt Newcastle into negotiations. The twist comes just after **Eintracht Frankfurt rejected Newcastle’s £70 million bid for Hugo Ekitike**, complicating their plans further.
If Liverpool do table an official offer for Isak soon, it could raise big questions about **Darwin Núñez’s future**. The Uruguayan striker has been linked with a move away from Anfield, with **Napoli and Saudi clubs reportedly interested**.
**Goldbridge: Liverpool Making a Statement**
Adding fuel to the speculation, YouTuber and Manchester United fan **Mark Goldbridge** weighed in, calling Liverpool’s actions a calculated power move.
He suggested that Liverpool are essentially cornering Newcastle: “Either sell us Isak, or we’ll swoop in and take Ekitike from under your nose.”
Goldbridge summed it up bluntly on X:
> *“Liverpool basically saying to Newcastle we’ll give you a world record bid for Isak or we’ll steal Ekitike from you. Some power play.”*
As the summer window unfolds, it’s clear Liverpool are preparing to make a major attacking move—whether it’s Isak, Ekitike, or both. And if Newcastle aren’t careful, they could lose out on their primary target while also having to fend off a massive bid for their star striker.
