Jamie Carragher has expressed doubts about Liverpool's pursuit of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, describing the transfer situation as "messy" and feeling uncertain about how the move is unfolding. Carragher questioned the planning behind the potential transfer, suggesting that Liverpool's approach does not appear to be well-organized or straightforward.

Despite Liverpool's clear interest, backed by reports that Alexander Isak himself is keen on joining the Reds, Carragher remains unconvinced. Isak has notably not joined Newcastle on their pre-season tour and has been training individually at his previous club, Real Sociedad, reflecting his unsettled status at Newcastle. This situation reportedly puts pressure on Newcastle to sell, as they want to avoid having an unhappy player potentially causing disruption.

Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie recently stated that he believes Liverpool will eventually secure Isak’s transfer should they meet Newcastle’s asking price, believed to be around £135 million. This fee would represent a new British record, slightly below Newcastle’s initial demand of £150 million. Downie emphasized that Isak’s desire to move means the deal is likely to progress if Liverpool can provide the necessary funds.

Carragher’s concerns highlight questions about the clarity and effectiveness of Liverpool’s transfer strategy for Isak, while the financial and player-related dynamics continue to develop. The uncertainty over the deal showcases tensions within transfer dealings, especially concerning high-profile and costly moves.
