Alexander Isak set eyes on Liverpool move

 

Over the weekend, it became increasingly clear that Alexander Isak has his sights firmly set on Liverpool.

A move away from Newcastle United has been quietly brewing for months and, as we reported last week on Flashscore, there has been friction beneath the surface.

Newcastle’s refusal to meet new contract demands for the striker has left the door open - and now Liverpool are preparing to walk through it.

Luis Diaz’s agreement to join Bayern Munich has shifted the conversation. It is no longer a question of whether Liverpool need a forward. Now it is about who they will get - and Isak is the name gaining momentum fast.

Sources suggest this transfer story traces back further than many realise. At the start of last season, Isak believed his contract talks would progress. Instead, Newcastle handed Anthony Gordon a new deal that catapulted him ahead financially.

Inside the dressing room, it did not go unnoticed. Isak remained on a deal worth around £110,000 a week and even fellow forward Callum Wilson was earning more.
