Liverpool fans get bombshell Alexander Isak transfer news

Liverpool were already, by far and away, the best team in the Premier League last season, and they were the closest team to beating eventual Champions League winners PSG, too.

But they are not done trying to upgrade their squad this summer. That’s the difference between a club with ambition and one that is content with stagnation. Liverpool don’t just want to be a one-and-done team to win the Premier League title, nor are they satisfied with only winning the Premier League.

Although Liverpool already signed a top-class striker who can be a short and long-term upgrade on the frustratingly inaccurate and inconsistent Darwin Nunez, the Reds want more than just Hugo Ekitike.

After selling star left winger Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for a pretty penny (75 million euros, to be exact), Liverpool are driving even harder after yet another world-class striker – one who is even more acclaimed than Ekitike and closer to his prime.

Alexander Isak is taking matters into his own hands

Alexander Isak has been a hot topic for Premier League clubs, but if the Swedish superstar were to leave Newcastle after a career year in the 2024/25 season, then Liverpool would be his only landing spot.

And it looks like Isak is putting Newcastle’s feet to the fire and is willing to push his way into making a leap to the best team in the Premier League, forming a formidable striker partnership with Ekitike at Anfield instead of at St. James’s Park.

According to a report from TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey, Alexander Isak has not been showing up to Newcastle’s training camp. He even pulled out of their tour to Asia and has decided to train away from the team at home.

This is a clear and obvious indication to anyone that Isak wants to leave Newcastle, and whenever you see a star player like this taking matters into his own hands and not showing up to training, you know that the player’s days are numbered no matter what the club say or do.

Isak sees a superior sporting project at Liverpool, and with Liverpool showing serious interest in him, he wants to jump ship. Liverpool have a chance to sign one of the best strikers in the world and someone who could legitimately go toe-to-toe with Manchester City’s Norwegian ace Erling Haaland in the scoring charts, especially in the explosive attacking environment that Arne Slot has fostered at Anfield.

This transfer is one that looks increasingly likely to happen, especially with the latest information that Isak is essentially going on striker, with all signs pointing to Liverpool as his destination.
