So, it looks like Arne Slot’s squad is gearing up to make some serious moves this summer, and they have their eyes set on Newcastle’s striker, Alexander Isak.
The Reds are really making a splash in the transfer window. They’ve already snagged Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and it seems Florian Wirtz is next in line for a record-breaking deal. And, according to GIVEMESPORT, they might not stop there. They’re reportedly ready to throw down a hefty bid for Isak.
Now, Isak is considered Liverpool’s “dream” target. They’re looking at a whopping £100 million (around €116m or $134m) plus some add-ons for the Swedish international. But, let’s be real—Newcastle will probably want to hold onto him tight, especially after he netted 27 goals last season. They’re likely valuing him at about £120 million (or €140m/$161m).
It’s safe to say Isak is going to be a goal-scoring machine again in the Premier League next season. But the big question is, will he stick around in Newcastle or make the jump to Liverpool to join the reigning champions?
Liverpool seems ready to go all in, with that proposed £100 million bid that could increase with extras. This could potentially break the British transfer record again, especially after Wirtz’s signing already did just that this summer.
Oh, and remember, the Reds turned down a £59 million offer for Darwin Nunez back in January. But now? They might just consider letting him go to raise the cash for Isak.
On another note, Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia kicked off their Club World Cup journey without the striker they were hoping for, but it didn’t seem to hurt them too much. They managed to pull off a surprising 1-1 draw against European heavyweights Real Madrid.
Kudos to Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who was fantastic, saving a late penalty from Federico Valverde and helping his team secure a point in a match that was mostly controlled by the Saudi side.
And speaking of moves, Liverpool has been in touch with Victor Osimhen’s camp. The striker seems open to joining a Champions League club, which, let’s be honest, Liverpool's participation makes them a pretty attractive option.
The tricky part? His salary demands could be a hurdle. But if Liverpool can offload Nunez and Chiesa, they could free up around £15 million a year—perfect for making room for Osimhen’s wages. It’s still early days, though, and nothing is set in stone yet, but hey, it’s definitely on the table!
