Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that both Liverpool and Arsenal are showing strong interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. According to Romano, Isak is currently Arsenal’s top transfer target, while Liverpool is keeping a close eye on his situation. However, Newcastle sees Isak as “untouchable” and would only consider offers well above €70-90 million.
Furthermore, Liverpool’s interest in Isak might grow if Darwin Núñez leaves the club during the summer transfer window. Romano added that Isak is among the players Liverpool is considering as a possible replacement for Núñez.
Despite this, Newcastle’s determination to keep Isak means any potential deal would demand a major financial offer.
In addition, Liverpool’s incoming manager Arne Slot has spoken highly of Isak ahead of their Carabao Cup final clash. Slot praised Isak as a major threat to Newcastle’s opponents, comparing his speed to that of PSG’s attackers, and stressed the need for his team to be better prepared to handle Newcastle’s counter-attacks.
Slot’s remarks come as speculation grows about Isak’s future, but Newcastle remains firm that he’s not for sale unless a massive offer comes in.
