Liverpool Plot Blockbuster Move for Alexander Isak as Attacking Rebuild Takes Shape
Liverpool have identified Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak as the ideal figure to spearhead their next-generation attack and are reportedly preparing a staggering €138 million offer to secure his services.
The 25-year-old Swedish international enjoyed a sensational 2024–25 campaign, scoring 23 goals in the Premier League and cementing his place among Europe’s most clinical finishers. His blend of pace, composure, and technical brilliance has made him a nightmare for defenders — and a dream signing for top clubs across the continent.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot is believed to be a huge admirer of Isak and sees him as a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah or Darwin Núñez, capable of leading the line for years to come. With the Reds undergoing a major tactical and personnel reshuffle, landing a forward of Isak’s calibre would be a major statement of intent.
However, Newcastle United are under no pressure to sell and remain determined to hold onto their prized asset, especially after missing out on Champions League qualification. The Magpies view Isak as the cornerstone of their project under Eddie Howe and are expected to resist Liverpool’s advances unless an offer reaches an unrefusable level.
Sources suggest that Liverpool’s interest is genuine and that preliminary contacts have already been made. Yet, convincing Newcastle to part with a player they signed for a club-record fee in 2022 will be no easy feat — particularly given the player’s growing influence on and off the pitch at St James’ Park.
This potential British record-breaking deal could set the tone for a fiercely competitive summer transfer window, especially with other European giants also monitoring Isak’s situation.
One thing is clear: Liverpool are ready to spend big to return to the summit of English and European football — but whether money alone is enough to land Isak remains to be seen.
