Liverpool Willing to Shatter Club Record for £150M-Rated Newcastle Ace, Leaving PSG Behind | OneFootball

The winter transfer window has closed, and for now, Alexander Isak remains with Newcastle United. There wasn’t much buzz about a move this winter, but expect several clubs to revisit the idea come summer.

RMC Sport’s Daniel Riolo recently suggested that PSG, which has been linked to Isak by Fichajes, should make a strong push to strengthen its attack under Luis Enrique.

“Wouldn’t you go all-in on Alexander Isak if you were PSG?” Riolo said. “PSG could very well go all-in. Can we swap Ramos and Kolo Muani for Isak? Can we make a package like that? You also add Asensio to the package. And come on, I’ll throw in Kang-In Lee too.”

Arsenal has also shown interest, but according to FootballTransfers, Liverpool are currently the most determined suitor and lead the race for his signature.

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Newcastle United striker ahead of the summer transfer window, with Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri (h/t GIVE ME SPORT) sharing the news.

The Reds are said to be in talks with Isak’s representatives about a possible move to Anfield and are preparing an offer for the ‘world-class’ Sweden international.

Tavolieri adds that Liverpool are willing to break from their usual transfer strategy and spend big to land the 25-year-old forward this summer.

Newcastle have set Isak’s asking price at €180m (£150m), which would make him Liverpool’s record signing if he moves this summer, topping the £85m they paid for Darwin Nunez in 2022.
