Liverpool are planning a big move to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this summer to strengthen their attack. With key players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold nearing the end of their contracts, the club is looking at potential replacements.
Isak, who has been in excellent form for Newcastle, is one of Liverpool’s top targets, but they may face competition from Arsenal, who also need a reliable striker.
To make the deal happen, Liverpool are reportedly willing to offer Darwin Nunez plus cash in a swap deal for Isak. Nunez has had some great moments for Liverpool, scoring crucial goals, but he has also been inconsistent, missing many big chances.
Newcastle were originally interested in signing Nunez before he joined Liverpool in 2022, so Liverpool hope this offer could tempt them into making the deal. However, Newcastle value Isak highly, with a price tag of over ÂŁ100 million.
Isak has proven himself as one of the best strikers in the Premier League, with 17 goals in 23 appearances this season. His pace, skill, and finishing ability have drawn comparisons to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
With Newcastle currently struggling to secure a Champions League spot, their decision on whether to sell Isak could depend on their final league position. Whether Liverpool can pull off the swap deal remains to be seen, but Isak’s arrival would be a huge statement signing for Arne Slot’s side.
