Stan Collymore shared his reaction to Liverpool's reported interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, following news that the Sweden international has rejected a new contract offer from Newcastle and expressed his desire to leave the club. Collymore highlighted the significance of Isak's decision not to join Newcastle's pre-season trip to Singapore, signaling a clear intention to push for a transfer, with Liverpool among the primary suitors.

Collymore emphasized that Liverpool's pursuit of Isak remains serious despite their recent signing of striker Hugo Ekitike, suggesting that the Reds are still keen on adding proven Premier League talent. He noted Liverpool's preparedness to make a substantial offer, reportedly around £130 million, underlining both Isak's value and the competitive nature of the transfer market for such high-profile attackers.

Further, Collymore acknowledged that while Isak’s ambition to leave Newcastle is clear, the club may be reluctant to sell given his key role. The potential transfer hinges on Newcastle’s willingness to entertain offers and Liverpool's plans, possibly influenced by other forward departures such as Luis Díaz.

Collymore also pointed out that despite rumors of Isak being in talks with other clubs, including Al Hilal, concrete negotiations have not been confirmed, maintaining the spotlight on Liverpool’s interest. He concluded that Isak would represent a significant acquisition for Liverpool, strengthening their attacking options as they aim to compete at the highest levels domestically and in Europe.
