Liverpool Plans Record £150m Alexander Isak Signing Amid Multiple Player Sales

Liverpool is aggressively pursuing Newcastle striker Alexander Isak to bolster their attacking options following their Premier League title win under Arne Slot. The club is prepared to pay up to £150 million for Isak, a figure that would push their summer spending beyond £400 million, marking one of the highest transfer outlays in Premier League history. This move is contingent on the sales of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Harvey Elliott, which would free up significant funds. Isak, frustrated with Newcastle’s ambition and contract stance, is reportedly keen on joining Liverpool, who view him as a key addition to a forward line capable of competing on multiple fronts. Despite heavy spending, Liverpool’s owners have maintained financial prudence without resorting to creative accounting tactics seen at other clubs. The signing of Isak is seen as a statement of intent to maintain dominance domestically and advance in European competitions, complementing recent acquisitions like Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz.
