Time is slipping away for Liverpool to complete the transfer of Alexander Isak.

Newcastle have remained resilient in the following weeks that have seen Isak go on strike, refusing to play for Eddie Howe's side in the new Premier League campaign - he even released a public statement trying to force a move.

The Reds' match up at St.



James' Park on Monday night also complicated matters amid this saga, now there are just a matter of days for the correct conditions to be met for the deal to happen.

The ECHO looks at the three things that must line up perfectly for Liverpool to beat the 7pm next Monday, September 1.

Amid the excitement of new faces at Anfield, supporters may have noticed several players making their way out of the exit door.

It began with Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid back in June (£10m), and the Reds quickly followed up by selling Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford (£18m), Nat Phillips to West Bromwich Albion (£3m), and Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen (£35m).

After a hiatus in July deals have since been confirmed for Luis Diaz to move to Bayern Munich (£65.5m), Tyler Morton to Olympique Lyonnais (£15m), Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal (£46.3m), and Ben Doak to Bournemouth (£25m).

That most recent transaction involving the Scotsman took Liverpool's transfer income above £200m for the summer of 2025.

Liverpool's transfer expenditure this summer is already over £300m.

This would not have been possible without smart business completed in previous years and the only way further spending on Isak was going to be possible was if the cost was offset with sales.

The second condition to signing Isak would be Liverpool coming to an agreement with their rivals.

Anfield chiefs saw little point in amplifying the noise by making an immediate follow up, so have tried to maintain their silence and let events on Tyneside play out as they have done.

But to state the obvious, this potential deal goes nowhere without Liverpool's input.

The final condition is that Newcastle successfully replace Isak.

This is entirely out of Liverpool's control.

The Reds have watched on as the North East club have missed out on Liam Delap and Joao Pedro to Chelsea, plus Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United.
