England legend Jamie Carragher has advised former club Liverpool not spend £150 in the pursue of Swedish international of Eritrean descent.
The Premier League giants has been showing unprecedented activity in this transfer window, breaking their transfer record twice, with Carragher raising concerns.
Now, the potential £150 million move for Alexander Isak has left him absolutely stunned.
Carragher emphasized that signing Hugo Ekitike for €80 million is already out of the ordinary, but splashing out such a massive sum for Isak is downright absurd.
“He (Isak) would be a fantastic signing, but as a fan, I don’t want Liverpool to spend £150 million on Isak. Liverpool have already brought in another striker, and he’s just a backup. Something doesn’t add up here.
“When I look at Isak, you can see he’s ‘throwing his toys out of the pram’—first Arsenal signed a striker, then Liverpool, and now everything just seems all over the place”
“To me, Liverpool look like a club without a clear plan right now. First they buy one striker for £80 million, and then suddenly they want another for £120 million. Overall, Liverpool have spent a huge amount this summer. And all of this is just not the way the club usually operates.” He said.
Newcastle have been pushing for Isak to sign a new, improved contract that would include a mandatory sale clause for next season. But Alexander himself is firmly against this idea and has staged a real boycott against the club.
Isak joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022 for €70 million and has since played 109 matches, scoring 62 goals and providing 11 assists.
