US EditionLiverpool Have Just Blown a Hole in Newcastle's 'Dream' Summer Plans
MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, JUL 15 – Liverpool aims to secure striker Alexander Isak with a potential £120 million offer, preparing to break its transfer record again amid key forward departures and squad rebuilding.
- Liverpool, the Premier League champions, have formally approached Newcastle with a £120 million offer for striker Alexander Isak this summer.
- Newcastle firmly rejected the offer and maintain that Isak, who is 25 years old and has three years left on his contract, is not for sale as they prepare for a Champions League return.
- Isak enjoyed a strong 2024-25 season with 23 league goals and is regarded as one of the world’s best strikers, while Liverpool have completed major signings including Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.
- Liverpool’s approach aims to unsettle Isak to push for a move, but the striker has not indicated any desire to leave and Newcastle hope signing Hugo Ekitike could soften an eventual sale, although their valuations differ by nearly £10 million.
- The ongoing transfer saga suggests Liverpool may need to adjust plans if Isak stays and signals a significant summer ahead for both clubs in recruitment and squad development.
