The Athletic and David Ornstein confirmed Liverpool have communicated interest in a deal worth around £120 million.

Officially, Ekitike is being eyed as a partner to Isak, but Liverpool’s timing is no accident.

9, has been top of the list all summer — and with Newcastle suddenly in striker-replacement mode, the Reds sense blood in the water.

Isak’s numbers back up the chase: 62 goals in 109 appearances, with 27 last season alone, including one against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

The Sweden international is under contract until 2028, but Liverpool wouldn’t be pushing if they hadn’t received encouragement from the player’s side.

Meanwhile, other headlines swirl:

Luis Diaz has told Liverpool he wants to leave, with a rejected £58.6m Bayern Munich bid already on the table.

If Newcastle refuse, Liverpool could pivot and hijack the Ekitike deal outright.

Either way, the Reds are far from done, and another record-breaking signing is very much on the horizon.
