Liverpool Confident of Landing Alexander Isak as Striker Pushes for Newcastle Exit

Reds ready to make formal bid after Swedish star expresses desire to leave—but deal hinges on key condition

Liverpool are growing increasingly optimistic about securing a blockbuster deal for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, with the Swedish striker reportedly keen to explore a move away from St James’ Park.

Fresh off their 20th Premier League title triumph, the Reds have already splashed £260 million this summer on new recruits, including Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong. But manager Arne Slot isn’t done yet—with Isak emerging as a prime target, especially as Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz edge closer to exits.

Newcastle had initially slapped a daunting £150 million price tag on their star forward, but Isak’s recent decision to inform the club of his desire to consider a transfer has shifted the dynamics. According to Football Insider, Liverpool now believe they can negotiate an agreement, though the deal hinges on one crucial factor: the 24-year-old must actively push for the move.

While Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have also been linked, financial expert Stefan Borson has cast doubt on that possibility, citing complications due to Newcastle and Al-Hilal’s shared ownership under Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). Any deal would face strict Premier League and UEFA scrutiny, likely capping the fee at £150 million—a figure that may still test Liverpool’s resolve.

With a formal bid expected soon, the race for Isak’s signature is heating up. If the Reds succeed, it could be the statement signing that keeps them ahead of the pack in their title defense.
