Liverpool are reportedly preparing a bold move to land Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, with a potential swap deal involving Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah in the mix.
The Reds are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window, especially with key players like Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz all facing uncertain futures. Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold is rumored to be edging closer to a free transfer to Real Madrid, while Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are both approaching the final months of their contracts.
Newcastle are set to demand at least £150 million for Isak, a fee that could pose a challenge for Liverpool. However, as per talkSPORT, the Merseyside club may look to soften the financial blow by offering players plus cash to lure the Swedish striker to Anfield.
Last summer, Newcastle were reportedly keen on Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah was also mentioned as a potential makeweight in Liverpool’s previous pursuit of Anthony Gordon. Now, both defenders could be included in a fresh bid for Isak, whose stellar form this season—23 goals and five assists in 33 appearances—has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed that Arsenal have made Isak their “absolute top target,” while Liverpool have also established contact with the player’s representatives. However, Newcastle are determined to keep their star forward, making any potential deal a complex negotiation.
With Financial Fair Play regulations in play and clubs circling, Liverpool must decide whether Isak is worth the price—or if their striker search will lead them elsewhere.
