Newcastle reportedly interested in signing a Liverpool transfer target as Alexander Isak’s future remains uncertain.
Liverpool have shortlisted three major names to replace Darwin Nunez.
Liverpool have already completed their major signings in the summer rebuild, announcing Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez last month.
Reports say Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Victor Osimhen are currently on the Merseyside club’s radar for the centre-forward role.
The 25-year-old Swedish striker is reportedly the favourite for the Reds.
As David Ornstein reveals, “If the door was open for Isak, Liverpool would look to try and walk through it, but Newcastle don’t intend to open that door.
Let’s see what he wants to do and when they return to pre-season training, what his mindset is at.”
As Newcastle are still trying to keep Isak for the upcoming season, Liverpool might also be preparing to push harder for the striker in the coming days.
As Fabrizio Romano indicates, Newcastle might be shortlisting potential replacements if they can’t keep Alexander Isak.
