Liverpool is actively looking for a new forward to lead their attack for next season. Despite having a squad rich with attacking talent and several options in forward positions, manager Arne Slot is still considering adding another striker.
On Sunday, Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a win over Wolves at Anfield, thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. However, one of these goal scorers may leave in the summer if Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak joins the team.
Reports from Sport suggest that Liverpool could look to sell Colombian forward Diaz if they manage to sign Isak from Newcastle. The Swedish international has caught the attention of the Reds, who are keen to strengthen their attack by bringing him on board.
According to Caught Offside, Liverpool may need to spend between €150-€170 million to secure Isak from Newcastle, meaning they would have to break their transfer record to finalize the deal.
Could Liverpool Let Go of Luis Diaz?
To fund the potential transfer, Liverpool might consider selling Diaz, which could provide the necessary financial backing for such a big investment. Diaz played a key role in the win against Wolves, scoring the opening goal and winning the penalty that led to Salah’s strike.
Sport reports that Isak has a verbal agreement with Newcastle, allowing him to leave if a bid of over €100 million is received. This has sparked interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, all of whom are impressed by his form and potential for further development.
With top Premier League clubs vying for attacking reinforcements this summer, the competition for Isak’s signature is expected to be intense.
