BREAKING: Liverpool Could Sell £37.5M Forward Following Verbal Agreement for Alexander Isak Deal
Liverpool may be preparing for a major reshuffle in their attacking line-up, and all signs are pointing toward a bold pursuit of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.
According to multiple reports, the Reds have made a verbal agreement with the Swedish striker, setting the stage for what could be one of the summer’s biggest transfers. Isak, praised for his technical ability, intelligent movement, and clinical finishing, has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time — and it now looks like they’re ready to make a serious move.
However, this potential signing could come at the cost of Cody Gakpo’s future at Anfield. The Dutch forward, who arrived from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 for £37.5 million, may be sacrificed to make room for Isak. Despite his talent and moments of brilliance, Gakpo has struggled to secure a consistent spot in the starting eleven, and under new manager Arne Slot, his position is becoming increasingly uncertain.
Slot is said to be keen on bringing in a traditional No. 9 — a role Isak fits perfectly. With Darwin Núñez still in the mix and promising youngsters like Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon emerging, Gakpo could find himself surplus to requirements.
Transfer discussions are reportedly underway, with top clubs across Europe watching Gakpo’s situation closely. A return to the Dutch Eredivisie or a move to Italy’s Serie A has not been ruled out.
This potential domino effect signals a no-nonsense approach by Liverpool in their rebuilding efforts under Slot. If Isak’s move becomes a reality, it could lead to a high-profile departure — and all eyes are now on Newcastle and Liverpool as this story develops.
