Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak could be edging closer to a move to Liverpool, thanks in part to an unexpected assist from Paris Saint-Germain.
Widely regarded as one of the top centre-forwards in world football, the Swedish international has emerged as a key target for Liverpool this summer. While Newcastle remain firm in their stance not to sell, reports suggest Isak is now willing to stop playing for the club in an attempt to force a transfer to Anfield.
Interestingly, PSG might end up playing a role in facilitating the move. According to Liverpool.com, the French giants are expected to sell Marco Asensio to Aston Villa—a move that could indirectly trigger a chain reaction benefiting Liverpool.
Here’s how PSG’s decision might influence Isak’s situation:
Asensio’s potential move to Villa would likely fill the gap left by Jacob Ramsey, who has attracted interest from Newcastle. Though Ramsey wouldn’t directly replace Isak in the squad, his arrival could strengthen other areas of the team, potentially giving Newcastle more flexibility to consider a lucrative offer for their star striker.
However, whether this domino effect leads to Isak’s dream move to Liverpool remains to be seen. Newcastle may still require a proper replacement up front before sanctioning any sale. The club has been linked with forwards like Joao Pedro and Benjamin Šeško, though neither deal has materialized. Brentford’s Yoane Wissa is also reportedly on their radar, but it’s doubtful that Ramsey’s signing alone would be sufficient to part ways with Isak.
