Jamie Carragher has told Liverpool not to spend £150million on Alexander Isak.
However, Carragher has doubts over the potential move despite being an admirer of Isak.
Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet, Carragher said: “He (Isak) will be an amazing signing but from a fan’s point of view for myself, I don’t want Liverpool to spend £150m on Isak.
Something about it doesn’t feel right to me.
“I look at Isak, and he’s obviously thrown his toys out the pram once Arsenal signed a striker and Liverpool signed a striker.
I don’t think the plan is to buy a striker for £80m, and then be looking to buy another one for £120m.

“In terms of what Liverpool have done in the summer by bringing in players, they’ve spent a lot of money and it doesn’t feel like the Liverpool way of doing things so much.”
The former centre-back also voiced his concerns by reiterating that Liverpool shouldn’t overpay for Isak.
He admitted he doesn’t view the Swede as being on the same level as some of the world’s best players, such as Mbappe, who cost PSG £166m to sign from Ligue 1 rivals Monaco back in 2018, before eventually losing him on a free last summer to Real Madrid.
Carragher said: “£150milllion for me feels like Mbappe, you should be getting Mbappe for that amount.”

As well as Ekitike, Liverpool have signed Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.
And with Isak reportedly having told Newcastle he wants to move to Anfield, it looks like another big name will soon be on the way to Anfield.
Paul Scholes offered a different take from Carragher onThe Overlap, suggesting that Isak's arrival would be a significant statement of intent by Liverpool.
