Liverpool have officially approached Newcastle United over the potential signing of Swedish striker Alexander Isak, with a proposed deal worth around £120 million, according to transfer insider David Ornstein.
While no formal bid has been made, Liverpool have expressed serious intent. However, Newcastle insist the 25-year-old forward is not for sale. Isak, who has three years left on his contract, scored 27 goals in 42 appearances last season.
The Reds are seeking to strengthen their attack following the tragic death of Diogo Jota earlier this month. They have already signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £100 million and rejected a €67.5 million offer from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz.
Isak’s arrival could depend on the future of Darwin Nunez, who is attracting interest from Napoli and Al Hilal. Data experts have praised Isak as a unique forward combining pace, power, and finesse — qualities that would suit Arne Slot’s attacking system.
If signed, he would join a formidable front line including Mohamed Salah, Diaz, and Gakpo, as Liverpool look to defend their Premier League title.
