Liverpool are getting ready to spend big money on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak as they look to replace Luis Diaz, who is close to joining Bayern Munich for £65 million.
With Diaz on his way out, Liverpool want to use the money from his sale to sign a new top attacker—and Isak is now their number one target.
The 25-year-old Swedish star has turned down a big-money move to Saudi Arabia because he wants to stay in the Premier League. Reports say he prefers to join Liverpool.
Transfer news experts say Liverpool are preparing their biggest-ever offer to sign Isak. But they’re waiting for Newcastle to give them the green light. It’s believed Isak has already told Newcastle he wants to leave this summer.
So far this transfer window, Liverpool have spent nearly £300 million under their new manager Arne Slot, signing players like Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz.
Now, with Diaz and possibly Darwin Nunez leaving too, Liverpool are in a hurry to strengthen their attack.
Newcastle don’t really want to sell Isak, but they might have to because of Financial Fair Play rules—and the huge offer Liverpool are expected to make.
