Lewis Steele: Alexander Isak Desperate for Liverpool Transfer

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is keen to join Liverpool this summer. According to transfer insider Lewis Steele, Liverpool is preparing to make a strong bid for Isak, with Newcastle expecting such an offer imminently. Steele highlighted that Newcastle is apprehensive about receiving the first bid and that Liverpool’s interest is serious as the transfer window edges toward its close.

Isak has expressed a clear desire to leave Newcastle and compete for top honors at a club regularly challenging for major titles, specifically Liverpool. Despite interest from other clubs, the striker is focused on a move to Anfield, rejecting offers from other Premier League rivals and clubs in Saudi Arabia. Liverpool’s wanting to secure Isak fits their ambition to build on last season’s Premier League triumph under manager Arne Slot by strengthening key positions in their squad.

Financially, Liverpool sees the possible departures of Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez as crucial to funding the potential big-money acquisition of Isak. The sale of these players would provide the necessary funds to balance the books and allow Liverpool to make a competitive offer. Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s manager, recently confirmed Isak is unlikely to stay with Newcastle next week as the player has made his intentions clear.

Reports indicate that Newcastle is already planning to find a replacement for Isak, signaling a willingness to negotiate. However, whether the transfer happens depends largely on Newcastle’s valuation and their readiness to accept Liverpool’s bid. If the offer meets their expectations, Isak’s move to Liverpool appears imminent.
