Alexander Isak’s potential transfer to Liverpool has dragged on for way too long now.
Ever since the summer transfer window opened up in June, it’s been made clear that the Sweden international was Liverpool’s number one target, with Isak also only having eyes for Anfield.
And now, as per a fresh report from TEAMtalk, it seems like the Anfield outfit could turn their attention towards Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic if a deal for Isak doesn’t work out.

In Newcastle’s case, it would be to replace Isak, and for Liverpool, he’s on a ‘long list of alternatives’ in case the move for Isak doesn’t work out.
The report also adds that Arne Slot wants to ‘bring in another striker’ before the deadline strikes, with the Reds now willing to look ‘elsewhere’ rather than just the Sweden international.
Lastly, the report shares that Vlahovic is ‘open’ to both opportunities this summer.

Once described as “massive” by a former Juventus striker, Vlahovic could be a smart transfer option for Liverpool to explore.
However, now that Vlahovic has entered the final year of his contract and he doesn’t look likely to extend his stay with the Old Lady, now could be the perfect time for Liverpool to try and sign him.
Of course, only time will tell what will happen between Liverpool, Isak and Vlahovic, but if the Reds end the summer transfer window with just four senior attackers among their ranks, they may have dug their own grave.
