Liverpool have had a long-standing interest in Alexander Isak, with the Sweden international seen as their dream target.

The striker was in fine form for Newcastle last season and has been linked with a Liverpool move for as long as many can remember.

Several other strikers, such as Hugo Ekitike, have been linked with an Anfield switch, but every time a new name has popped up, the Reds’ interest in Isak has stood firm.

As per a fresh report from Fabrizio Romano via his personal X account, Liverpool are set to break their club record again to try and sign Isak this summer.

“Liverpool made club to club approach with Newcastle to discuss record bid for Alexander Isak,” he wrote.

“If Isak won’t be available, Liverpool can enter Ekitike race.

“Decision up to Newcastle as they never wanted to sell Isak + offer new deal.”
