Liverpool Considering Bid for Newcastle Star Isak in July

Liverpool could make a bid for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak next month, as revealed by the Newcastle press. Isak, one of the best strikers globally, has been in top form for Newcastle since his move from Real Sociedad in 2022. With 62 goals and 11 assists in 109 appearances, his impressive performances have caught the eye of clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal.

TEAMtalk's Fraser Fletcher reported that Liverpool sees Isak as a 'dream signing' for manager Arne Slot. Newcastle, however, is reluctant to sell and may demand £150 million for the striker. Recent updates from ChronicleLive suggest that Liverpool might bid for Isak in July, despite manager Eddie Howe's efforts to convince him to stay.

Newcastle World supports the claim that the Magpies are keen on retaining Isak, with chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan instructing the club to keep him. While Newcastle's wealthy owners and Champions League qualification add leverage, the club may face a tough decision if Liverpool tables a significant offer, potentially making Isak their highest-paid player ever.

Reports indicate that Liverpool would need to offer over £150 million to start negotiations, with estimates reaching £200 million. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing interest from Everton and Chelsea in other transfer dealings.
