Liverpool remain interested in signing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak despite recently securing the signing of Hugo Ekitike. The Reds reportedly made first contact with Newcastle about a potential Isak transfer on the same day Ekitike’s deal was agreed, signaling strong ongoing interest in the Sweden international forward.
Newcastle have stated that Isak is not for sale, though Liverpool’s pursuit continues amid speculations that the club is weighing up their attacking options in case of departures such as Darwin Nunez or Luis Diaz. Liverpool had previously offered Newcastle around £120 million for the 25-year-old, with some reports suggesting an even higher offer possibly exceeding £135 million including add-ons.[1][3][4]
Isak himself appears unsettled by the transfer rumors, with media reports highlighting that his focus at Newcastle may be wavering under Liverpool's interest. The forward’s agent confirmed they are currently analyzing all options, including both a potential transfer or remaining at Newcastle, while acknowledging interest from the Saudi Pro League’s Al-Hilal, adding another dimension to his future possibilities.[1][2][5]
Meanwhile, Liverpool and Newcastle officials are reportedly working on improving relations following the complex negotiations involving Ekitike. The Reds also offered Harvey Elliott on a separate deal to advance talks with Newcastle, showing their commitment to securing Isak should the opportunity arise.[4]
In summary, Liverpool’s pursuit of Alexander Isak remains active and high-profile, with strong financial bids and strategic negotiation efforts underway despite current resistance from Newcastle and competition from other leagues. The striker’s next move appears pivotal amid a summer of intense transfer speculation.
