Liverpool is in the process of negotiating with Newcastle about a transfer of Alexander Isak this summer, when the journalist Fabrizio Romano made a statement that 60% of the “blockbuster” will happen.
Isak just wants to go to Liverpool
Despite having just completed the Hugo Ekitike's recruitment deal last week, Liverpool was still looking for a class and very interested in Alexander Isak. So far, The Reds has spent nearly £ 300 million for the summer transfer, with notable rookies such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong or Milos Kerkez. All are part of the team upgrade plan to protect the Premier League title.
Teamtalk's Fleetcher correspondent was the first to reveal exclusively last Thursday that Isak informed Newcastle wishing to leave the club to join Liverpool. The close sources also confirmed that Liverpool had approached Newcastle before speeding up the Ekitike deal.
The negotiation of contract extension between Isak and Newcastle broke down, due to the St. Stadium's home team James' Park refused to meet the salary required £ 300,000/week of the Swedish striker. In addition, Isak is said to be increasingly disappointed with the limited transfer ambition of Newcastle, so it is speeding up this summer.
With Luis Diaz preparing to join Bayern Munich for £ 65.5 million, Liverpool is expected to use that money to re -invest in a record £ 150 million record for Isak – who has scored 23 and has 6 assists in 34 Premier League matches last season, and is being considered as one of the top strikers in the world today.
According to Romano, both Isak and Liverpool want the deal, and now decide to belong to Newcastle. The transfer expert shared on Dazn: “With Isak, I can say that Liverpool has about 60% chances to recruit successfully.
It is an optimistic ratio, but there are still 40% left need to be completed. Liverpool contacted Newcastle two weeks ago and they were ready to make a Premier League record to get Isak. Isak himself wants to go to Liverpool and have announced his desire to leave with Newcastle.
He doesn't care about Saudi Arabia or any other option. There are rumors about Man United or Arsenal, but no, only Liverpool. Now is the time for Newcastle to decide whether they pave the way for Isak to leave. “
How will Liverpool pay for the Isak deal?
According to Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool has reached personal agreement with Isak, with a 5 -year contract. The Swedish player is said to be very satisfied with the financial terms suggested by the Merseyside team.
Meanwhile, Teamtalk revealed that Liverpool plans to sell 4 players to cover the cost of Isak's tomb, including:
- Luis Diaz (was about to join Bayern)
- Darwin Nunez (lost the main kick under Slot)
- Harvey Elliott (only two main kicks in the Premier League last season)
- Federico Chiesa (injury and unstable performance since leaving Juventus, only playing 14 matches, scoring 2 goals and 2 assists)
Former player Robbie Fowler also said that Liverpool's ability to successfully recruit Isak, while Teamtalk revealed that three names were considered to replace Luis Diaz after the Colombian player left.
In short, the biggest problem in the Isak mission is now a nod of Newcastle. If the “injection” accepts into the water and sells Isak, they will collect huge amounts from Liverpool for their number one star. On the contrary, if Newcastle resolutely say no, it is difficult for Liverpool to do because the 25 -year -old star still has a contract until 2028.
