Liverpool are considering a swoop to sign Swedish striker of Eritrean descent Alexander Isak from Newcastle United this summer.
According to reports, the English Premier League champions are ready to pay a whopping £120 million plus add-ons to secure the services of the lethal forward.
Fresh off a dominant season, the Premier League champions have set their sights on the 24-year-old as a key attacking reinforcement. The Reds are confident that their offer will be enough to tempt Newcastle into parting ways with their prized forward.
While the exact structure of the add-ons remains undisclosed, they are believed to be tied to both team and individual performances, potentially pushing the total fee even higher.
However, a major obstacle to the deal could be Newcastle’s inability to secure a suitable replacement.
The Magpies had been eyeing RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko as a potential successor, but reports now suggest the Slovenian prefers a move to Manchester United.
With Liverpool determined and Newcastle in a tricky position, the saga surrounding Isak’s future promises to be one of the most closely watched transfer stories of the summer.
Many believe if Liverpool are able to sign Isak, they will not only be favourites for the EPL title next season but will be favourites to clinch the UEFA Champions League trophy as well.
