Liverpool’s hopes of landing Alexander Isak could be dealt a crushing blow, and it all comes down to the decision of another striker. Transfer plans at Anfield are on hold as the club waits to see whether this forward — whose own move could trigger Isak’s availability — decides to leave. If he stays put, Newcastle will have no pressure to sell, leaving Liverpool’s pursuit dead in the water.
The situation highlights the fine margins of the transfer market, where one player’s choice can alter the fate of another’s career. For now, Liverpool’s interest remains strong, but with time ticking away, their dream of bringing Isak to Anfield could slip beyond reach if this chain reaction never starts.
