Last season, Liverpool shocked everybody as they won the Premier League against all odds.

But manager Slot is also on the hunt for a new striker, and considering his side’s spending already, his hands could be somewhat tied and spending power diminished.

The facilitators

To afford new arrivals, Liverpool will almost certainly need to sell some of their current senior players.



However, Newcastle does not need to sell, and as such, any potential deal could cost an absolute fortune.

The back-up options

Should the transfer fee demanded to secure Isak’s services exceed what Liverpool can afford – or be willing – to pay, then they have a couple of high-rated back-ups already in mind.

The young Frenchman stepped into the void left by Omar Marmoush’s departure last season by firing 22 goals in all competitions throughout a breakout campaign,

What works in Liverpool’s favor is its strong financial position in comparison to Bundesliga clubs.

Plus, Sesko’s goalscoring exploits slowed somewhat throughout Die Roten Bulen’s disappointing 2024/25 campaign, with the 22-year-old netting just 13 goals in the league last season as Leipzig missed out on European qualification for the first time since their promotion to the Bundesliga.

Both prospects have youth on their side and could well be available for a cheaper price than Isak.

Their lack of Premier League experience, however, leaves question marks over any potential additions, and that could scupper any deals being made.
