Liverpool are preparing to make a major move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. The club’s push comes immediately after completing the sale of Luis Diaz. Funds from that transfer are expected to power Liverpool’s new offensive target.
Sources close to the situation confirm that Isak is fully open to the switch. The Swedish international has not entered talks with any Saudi Pro League clubs. His focus is entirely on Liverpool. Personal terms are not expected to be a problem.
Liverpool see Isak as the long-term option in their attack. The club has identified his movement, finishing, and adaptability as key attributes. At 25, he fits Liverpool’s plans under the next phase of their rebuild.
Newcastle have not responded to Liverpool’s growing interest. However, Liverpool are prepared to submit a record-breaking offer. If accepted, this would become the most expensive incoming transfer in the club’s history.
Newcastle face a tough call. Isak is central to their plans, but the fee being prepared is expected to exceed £85 million. Financial Fair Play rules are also in play. The club’s stance remains unclear, but internal talks are already underway.
For Liverpool, the urgency is clear. The club wants business done early, and Isak is the main focus. With pre-season already underway, Liverpool want their squad settled. The board is backing the move, and the coaching staff has signed off on the player profile.
There is no interest from Isak in offers outside England. Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, the player is not exploring those paths. Liverpool is the only destination under consideration. The project, the style, and the Premier League remain his top priorities.
Luis Diaz’s sale has created space and cash. That move is now official, and Liverpool are not wasting time. The Colombian’s exit was part of a larger plan, and Isak was always a key name on the shortlist.
As of now, Newcastle remain the only obstacle. Liverpool are waiting for green light to submit their offer. Once invited, they will come forward with a formal bid. It’s a big number. It’s a big move. And it’s real.
The ball is now in Newcastle’s court.
