Alexander Isak is being eyed by Liverpool(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool are willing to bide their time to make a move for Newcastle sensation Alexander Isak.

But a deal looked difficult given Newcastle were in no mood to sell, while they also put an eye-watering £150m asking price on Isak.

But it appears that Liverpool actually have a plan in place to potentially seal a late deal.



The Magpies are chasing lucrative deals for James Trafford, Anthony Elanga and Joao Pedro - with a £100m+ deal for Isak going a long way in helping Newcastle afford those three deals.

There is also the small matter of Newcastle’s efforts to keep Isak at St James’ Park.

Previous reports have suggested that the Magpies were willing to make the striker the highest-paid player in the club’s history and it is suggested that Liverpool would have no issue in matching his demands.

So, it may be wise for Arne Slot’s side to actually bide their time to see how discussions go.

He said: "I never make those guarantees about any player and it’s not to do with Alex’s future but I’d be foolish to sit here and do anything like that.
