The sources in the foggy country revealed that Liverpool has received great support in pursuing Newcastle's Alexander Isak star, when the Northeast team is targeting Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt.
Although the club's record transfer was 134 million euros to the former Leverkusen star, Florian Wirtz, along with the moves to recruit Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, it seems that Liverpool's transfer activities in this transfer window have not ended.
While the agreement to recruit Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is said to be able to be realized, it has long been reported that Newcastle's Isak striker is an Arne Slot's dream contract this summer. And the hope of having Liverpool's Isak is very clear, when the Newcastle host team seems to have a move to find a replacement.
According to The Telegraph, Newcastle is interested in striker Ekitike, who had previously been in the sights of many top Premier League teams such as Chelsea, MU or Arsenal. However, in the context that Chelsea had Joao Pedro, Arsenal killed Viktor Gyokeres, Newcastle will only have to compete with MU – the real team is not really zealous in this deal.
Ekitike currently has 4 years in contract with Eintracht Frankfurt, so the Bundesliga team still has a great advantage on the negotiating table and many sources think that they can require a fee of about 100 million euros for his signature. This means that any club signs a contract with the 23 -year -old French striker will have to commit a large part of their summer budget.
Newcastle has only spent 61.4 million euros to recruit Anthony Elanga from Nottingham and this partly affects the transfer fund. Therefore, Chich Chu is likely to consider selling Isak, who is valued at about 150 million euros. With this money, coach Eddie Howe will freely spend to bring in quality contracts.
