Liverpool are reportedly preparing a bold £150 million offer for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, as the club’s leadership appears ready to back new manager Arne Slot in his pursuit of a top-class centre-forward.
Following big-money acquisitions of Florian Wirtz (£116 million) and defenders Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez (£69.5 million), the Reds now want to round out their squad overhaul with a lethal striker.
Isak is seen as the ideal candidate. The Swedish international had an outstanding campaign for Newcastle, netting 27 goals in 42 games, including a decisive strike in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
Liverpool reportedly view Isak as their “dream” signing, and will need to be strategic in the transfer market to secure his services this summer.
According to the Express, the club is considering selling up to five players to help fund the potential record-breaking transfer. Those players include Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, and Andy Robertson.
Nunez is rumored to be attracting serious interest from Napoli, and with Slot reportedly unconvinced by the forward, a departure looks likely.
Jota, whose contract expires next year, has struggled with injuries, making his future uncertain. Meanwhile, Diaz has been linked with other clubs in the past, and Liverpool may consider cashing in on him to facilitate the Isak deal.
Young defender Quansah is close to finalizing a move to Bayer Leverkusen, which would represent pure profit for Liverpool as he is a homegrown player.
Robertson could also be on the way out, particularly after Kerkez’s arrival, and is reportedly open to a move to Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool’s interest in Isak goes beyond replacing goals — they’re aiming to construct a formidable attacking unit built around a world-class striker. After watching him shine at Newcastle, the Reds are convinced of his quality and may push hard to land him this summer.
