Will Alexander Isak join Liverpool FC?

While he is far from being the only player admired, Liverpool are understood to consider Isak as a ‘dream signing’ for Arne Slot.

Although Newcastle remain in a strong position to keep the 25-year-old, RTK have been told suggestions that Isak staying on Tyneside is a formality are wide of the mark.

Newcastle qualified for the Champions League on the final day of the Premier League season, leading to assumptions Isak would be certain to remain at St James’ Park.

However, it is understood that contract talks with the Sweden striker will play a greater role in whether he stays or decides to look for a new challenge in the transfer window.

Liverpool are said to be highly interested in Alexander Isak, who would be their 'dream' target for the striker role to replace Darwin Nunez, although a £150m price tag has been put on him.

And then we have Anthony Gordon, who would fit in well on Liverpool's left-wing, but Luis Diaz would need to depart before a move could be discussed. Even then, the Reds already have Cody Gakpo who could step up in the Colombian's absence.

Not only are both transfer targets unlikely moves, but they would have extortionate transfer fees.

In order to sweeten the deal, Liverpool could use any combination of Elliott, Gomez or Jota as part of a swap plus cash negotiation, but we're being ambitious here to say the least.
