Liverpool are reportedly poised to reignite their pursuit of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak with an unprecedented Premier League record bid, contingent upon the Magpies securing a suitable replacement. The champions recently had a substantial £110 million offer turned down, but it’s believed Liverpool are ready to up the ante should Newcastle make headway in their transfer dealings.
The Reds were initially dissuaded after Newcastle’s firm rejection, leading to speculation that Liverpool would abandon their chase. However, shortly after the initial setback, reports emerged suggesting Liverpool have not yet given up and are prepared to submit an improved offer once Newcastle move forward with their recruitment plans.
The Magpies are currently pressing ahead with their attempts to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, alongside a pursuit of Brentford’s Yoane Wissa. A successful capture of Sesko, valued at £65 million, would open the door for Liverpool to make their next move for the Swedish striker.
Notably, the acquisition of Sesko hangs in the balance as RB Leipzig await the player’s decision. Meanwhile, Newcastle remain optimistic about securing Wissa, bolstering their attack and simultaneously paving the way for Isak’s potential departure.
Isak, who has been training with his former club Real Sociedad, is expected to return to Newcastle’s fold, barring any significant developments in the transfer saga.
With the Premier League season fast approaching, both clubs remain at a crossroads. Newcastle’s manoeuvres in the market could precipitate a landmark bid from Liverpool, altering the landscape of the current transfer window. Talks between all parties continue as the countdown to the new campaign intensifies.
