Alexander Isak’s ‘Lower Price’ Revealed as Liverpool and Newcastle Talks Continue
Graeme Bailey of Rousing The Kop has reiterated Liverpool’s interest in Alexander Isak, suggesting the situation could reach a decisive moment soon.
“Isak has consistently been an option,” Bailey said. “I trust my sources on this. Newcastle are open to breaking their current wage structure to keep him, but Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation. With little information coming from Newcastle, it’s a waiting game to see how it unfolds.”
He added that Liverpool aren’t backing off from their pursuit: “They seem to believe there’s still an opportunity, though it’s not clear why. As long as he hasn’t signed a new deal, their interest will persist.”
Bailey further mentioned that Liverpool could potentially land the Swedish striker for a reduced fee—reportedly in the £120–130 million range—depending on whether Isak declines a new contract from Newcastle.
Should Isak opt to swap Newcastle for Liverpool, he’d become a key figure in an already star-filled squad, recently enhanced by the signings of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.
Meanwhile, Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported that Liverpool are actively pursuing three main striker targets: Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Victor Osimhen. Plettenberg wrote on X that Liverpool have done their homework on each of them. Ekitike, in particular, is said to be a top target, though he’s aware that a transfer depends on player sales before any move can happen.
