Liverpool could offer Newcastle United a deal worth £150million to sign Alexander Isak as the transfer deadline edges closer.
Isak has his heart set on joining Liverpool after emerging as their top target ahead of the window closing on 1 September.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “I still think the most likely scenario, and I’m only talking about likelihood, nobody can be certain as to how this is going to pan out, but I still think the most likely scenario is that he goes to Liverpool for the sorts of fee that we talked about before.
“I still think that a very big transfer to Liverpool is the most likely as we sit here now because, ultimately, it’s going to be very, very hard to reintegrate the player next season given what’s come to pass.
“It’s going to take him a month to get fit probably because he’s broadly missed the entire pre-season.
“I do still think that’s the most likely, but it’s far from certain because it’s just going to be very difficult now given all the main targets that Newcastle have missed.
“As I say, I still think it’s most likely he will go to Liverpool, but I’d only put it at slightly over 50 per cent.
“I think they may well just take a view that they’ll deal with the aftermath between now and January and look at it again in January.”

In terms of another potential incoming at Anfield, Football Insider revealed on 22 August Liverpool are hopeful of signing Marc Guehi later in the window if Crystal Palace decide to accept cut-price offers.
Oliver Glasner’s side were originally believed to be asking for around £40million, but that price tag has now dropped by £5million.
