Liverpool is preparing a massive £120 million bid to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, marking a potential new British transfer record. The Premier League champions have made their ambition clear by opening talks with Newcastle, signaling their intent to secure the Sweden international forward. Isak, who scored 23 league goals last season, was crucial in Newcastle's successes, including their victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final and their qualification for the Champions League.

Despite Newcastle’s hopes that participating in European football would help them keep Isak, the player's openness to a move could jeopardize those plans. According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Isak has not closed the door on Liverpool’s advances and is engaged in ongoing discussions with Newcastle over a new contract. However, he has not rejected Liverpool’s interest and appears receptive to joining the reigning Premier League champions.

This potential transfer underscores Liverpool's ambitious strategy under manager Arne Slot, following the recent signing of another world-class talent, Florian Wirtz. Securing Isak would significantly strengthen Liverpool’s attacking options and demonstrate their determination to compete at the highest level.

The deal would require Liverpool to shatter the existing British transfer record, with reports suggesting the offer could surpass £125 million. Negotiations are expected to intensify as Liverpool pushes to finalize one of the summer’s most high-profile moves, reflecting their commitment to bolstering their squad for both domestic and European challenges.
