Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesAlexander IsakAlexander Isak's big-money move to Liverpool hasn't gone to plan so far, and one club chief has made an unflattering comparison with Harry Kane at Bayern MunichAlexander Isak's price tag has been called into question by a club chief(Image: Getty Images)Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness has once again taken aim at Liverpool by making an unflattering comparison between Alexander Isak and Harry Kane.The outspoken Hoeness rarely shies away from giving an opinion, and has had plenty to say about Liverpool in recent months, particularly after the Reds beat Bayern to the signing of Florian Wirtz last summer.The 74-year-old though has now decided to turn his attention to another of Liverpool’s players, with Isak’s move to Anfield his latest target. Isak endured a tough start to life with the Reds after missing pre-season, having gone on strike back in the north-east.He has scored just three goals in 16 appearances for his new club, and has been out injured since December after breaking his leg against Tottenham.Isak is expected to return to action shortly after the international break, although Arne Slot has urged caution over any expectations for the 26-year-old after a long spell out.Harry Kane has been a sensation for Bayern Munich since making the move in 2023(Image: Getty Images)Never one to show restraint though, Hoeness took aim at Isak and Liverpool as he discussed Kane’s own big-money move to Bayern, having made the switch from Tottenham to Munich for €100M ($115M) back in 2023.“It was a bit of a risk,” Hoeness told Kicker.
If he’s worth 150 million, then Harry is worth 250 million euros.”Get LFC's 2025/26 season home and away kitsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Liverpool bought a striker who was entering his prime years as a player, while Bayern bought one who was entering his 30s and may not be able to deliver the same impressive numbers he’s recording at the moment.Of course, Bayern won’t be disappointed with the investment they made, especially if they end up winning the Champions League this season. He will need to hit the ground running next season at the very least.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCFC Bayern MunichAlexander Isak
