Liverpool aren’t giving up hope of touchdown star Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
Already this summer season, the Reds have damaged the British switch report to signal Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, however they haven’t dominated out doubtlessly repeating the trick to land Isak.
From the Magpies’ perspective, nonetheless, they’re assured of holding onto their man.
Newcastle United prepared to carry Isak as Liverpool assess two different targets
The Reds spent £116m on Wirtz simply final month and, with Newcastle valuing Isak – ranked at no.4 in FourFourTwo’s checklist of the perfect strikers on the earth proper now – at greater than £150m, you’d anticipate that might be the tip of the dialog.
That seems to not be the case for the persistent, deep-pocketed Reds, however the Magpies have a plan.
Newcastle have Isak below contract for one more three years, however such a heavy pursuit from the Merseysiders is more likely to be unsettling.
To reaffirm their dedication to one another, journalist Graeme Bailey revealed to Rousing The Kop that the Magpies are prepared to interrupt their wage construction to tie him to a brand new deal, upping his present £120,000-per-week deal to past present high earner, Bruno Guimaraes.
Additional reviews from Soccer Insider declare that Newcastle are assured Isak will stick with the bumper new deal on the best way.
This seems to be backed up by the truth that, based on Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool, alongside Isak, are actually Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike, the latter of which being “very excessive on the checklist”.
In FourFourTwo’s opinion, primarily based on Newcastle already sturdy place concerning Isak, and the truth that Liverpool have already spent round £200m this summer season, a transfer taking the Sweden worldwide to Anfield appears tough.
That’s earlier than considering that the Magpies will certainly connect a premium to promote to a direct Premier League rival.
If the Reds had not spent anyplace else, then pushing the boat out for Isak might have been on the playing cards, however to land him after their already-agreed enterprise would take a unprecedented spending dedication, to a stage by no means earlier than seen, when barely extra inexpensive choices like Ekitike exist.
Isak is valued at €120m, based on Transfermarkt.
