Alexander Isak is said to be open with the ability to leave Newcastle United this summer, and Liverpool is emerging as the brightest candidate if the Swedish striker is officially brought to the transfer market.
Liverpool is Alexander Isak's new stop?
Although Newcastle repeatedly asserted that there was no intention of breaking up with Alexander Isak, this player was absent in the list of 30 people of coach Eddie Howe for the Asian tour (Singapore and South Korea). The club explained that Isak had a minor injury in his thighs, but the expert believed that things were not so simple. According to some reports, “injections” can change their mind if they receive a suggestion worth £ 150 million.

Isak joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad for £ 63 million in August 2002. The 25-year-old striker also did not participate in the 0-4 defeat against Celtic in Glasgow. After the match, coach Howe said he took the initiative to let Isak in Newcastle because of concerns about the rumors of transfer will affect the psychology of this striker.
Although Newcastle still asserted that Isak was not for sale, when he had 3 years in the contract at St James' Park, Liverpool still expressed official interest last week. However, the proposal of the “Red Brigade” was rejected by Newcastle's Board of Directors.
Unable to go further with the Isak deal, Liverpool shifted to Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt and completed the £ 69 million deal, plus £ 10 million. They surpassed Newcastle to win the signature of the French striker. Currently, there are rumors that Liverpool has not abandoned Isak and can completely bring this player to Anfield on this summer.
Coach Eddie Howe is expected to have a press conference in Singapore this Saturday, the day before the friendly match against Arsenal. He was waiting for more clearly about the future of Alexander Isak, who became the focus on the transfer market.
