Liverpool insists on Isak: Why and how the signing is possible?

Alexander Isak: Is He the Next Salah on Liverpool’s Radar?

Alexander Isak, the promising Swedish star, could be on his way to becoming Mohamed Salah’s successor at Liverpool. The English club, after a significant investment in players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong, is now targeting Isak to reinforce its attack. Despite Newcastle rejecting an initial offer, Liverpool persists in their interest in the striker. A possible deal could be around £150 million, which would raise the club’s spending to over £400 million since the end of last season. Liverpool is willing to invest heavily for two main reasons: first, its financial capacity and, second, the club’s vision of building a competitive team for the next five years, where Isak would play a crucial role.

• Ekitike analysis: Success or failure?

With Salah, 33 years old, renewing his contract, Liverpool seeks to secure his long-term replacement. The arrival of Isak would complete the renewal of the attacking line, along with Wirtz and Ekitike, ensuring an offensive front for the coming years. Uncertainty about Isak’s future at Newcastle grows due to his absence from the club’s pre-season tour. The player has expressed his desire to consider other options, which could facilitate his arrival at Anfield.

Ultimately, the decision will rest with the board of directors.

Newcastle, limited by Premier League financial rules, could be forced to accept an offer for Isak. For Liverpool, the opportunity to sign the player is now, as Isak is open to a transfer and the club has the necessary funds.

Liverpool has generated significant revenue through player sales and its success in the Champions League and the Premier League, allowing it to afford the investment in Isak without financial problems. The possible sale of Darwin Núñez, Harvey Elliott, and Chiesa could generate additional funds. The arrival of Isak would consolidate Liverpool’s offensive future, offering fans the exciting prospect of seeing Isak and Salah together on the field. The key to this signing lies in Liverpool managing to close the deal for Isak.
