Now, though, there could be another player whose name is on everyone's lips when it comes to the prospect of signing for the Reds.

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is continuing to be mentioned as a potential transfer target for Liverpool this summer.

However, how likely is it that Isak actually moves to Anfield?

For starters, let's pretend that the rumours are true and that Liverpool do have a genuine interest in signing Isak this summer.

As the ECHO reported earlier this week, Liverpool are big fans of Isak as they continue to monitor the striker market.

Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike is also a player being tracked by the Reds as the summer transfer window rolls on.

Newcastle's qualification for the Champions League will almost certainly make a deal to sign Isak incredibly difficult to get off the ground.

Should that be the case, Liverpool will find it even tougher to agree a deal to bring the striker to Anfield.

There's also the practicalities of what would be needed for Liverpool to spent £100million-plus on Isak

Liverpool would not want to let all of these players leave, but if money can be raised through some sales, that would go a long way towards raising the funds needed to bring Isak to the club.

All of this is guesswork at this point, of course

Only those within the Anfield hierarchy will have an idea of whether or not a move for Isak to Liverpool this summer is even remotely possible.

But if Liverpool do get any whisper that a move may be possible to bring Isak to Anfield, they would be wise to explore it, at the very least.
