Liverpool Plan Record Move for Alexander Isak After Luis Diaz Sale

Liverpool are ready to make a big offer for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak after selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. Isak wants to join Liverpool, even turning down offers from Saudi Arabian clubs. Liverpool are waiting for Newcastle’s response before making their record proposal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Liverpool sold Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for about £65.5 million, freeing up money for a major signing. Isak is their top target. Newcastle expect a huge fee, possibly up to £150 million, to agree to a sale. Isak has rejected talks with Saudi teams and turned down an offer from Al Hilal, as he wishes to prioritize joining Liverpool and pursuing his Premier League dreams according to reports.

ISAK AND LIVERPOOL’S CURRENT SITUATION

Alexander Isak was Newcastle’s top scorer last season with 27 goals across all competitions, helping them finish fifth in the Premier League according to recent updates. Liverpool won the Premier League under Arne Slot. They plan to replace Diaz and pair Isak with Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah in attack. With Darwin Nunez likely to leave, Liverpool’s frontline is set for a reshuffle. Newcastle face tough decisions due to financial pressures, even as they aim to stay competitive in the Premier League and Europe next season.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Liverpool are expected to make a record bid for Isak soon. Newcastle must decide whether to accept the offer or keep their star striker. The new Premier League season is about to start. In the second week, Liverpool will visit Newcastle at St. James’ Park. Both teams want to start well. Liverpool, as defending champions, aim to stay ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal. Newcastle, who finished just outside the top four last season, hope to boost their status among the league’s top teams. The outcome of the Isak transfer could significantly affect both clubs’ ambitions this season.
