After making serious progress in their pursuit of Florian Wirtz, the Merseyside giants are now turning their attention toward another major name — Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.

The Swedish forward, fresh off a strong season in black and white, is now firmly on the Reds’ radar (reports backed by Goal).

Isak scored 27 goals across all competitions and helped Newcastle land the Carabao Cup while sealing a Champions League spot.

That kind of form tends to turn heads — and Liverpool’s head has turned.

Manager Arne Slot, fresh off guiding Liverpool to a Premier League title in his first season, seems keen to keep the pressure on.

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to offer up to £101 million for Isak if contract talks with Newcastle don’t move forward.

The Magpies want him to stay, and for good reason.

Isak is under contract until 2028, and the club is back in the Champions League — a tempting reason for any player to stick around.

But one thing is certain — this transfer saga has only just kicked off.
