Alexander Isak Transfer News: Liverpool Plot Record £120m Move For Newcastle Striker As Darwin Nunez Future Hangs In Balance

Liverpool is preparing to shake up the transfer window yet again with a £120 million bid for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. According to football expert Fabrizio Romano, the proposal is ready for £120m package but will only be sent if Newcastle change their stance.

Will Newcastle sell Alexander Isak?

Isak, long admired by Slot and reportedly seen as the Dutchman’s dream signing, has so far been considered untouchable by Newcastle. The Magpies view the Swedish international as a crucial part of their long-term project and have shown little willingness to entertain offers. However, Liverpool’s massive offer could force a rethink on Tyneside, especially amid Financial Fair Play considerations.

What will Liverpool do if Newcastle reject bid for Isak?

Should Newcastle remain firm and refuse to sell Isak, Liverpool are expected to hijack the Magpies' pursuit of Hugo Ekitike a player Newcastle have been chasing in recent weeks. Eintracht Frankfurt recently rejected a £70m bid from Newcastle for the French striker, leaving the door open for Liverpool to swoop in.

Will Darwin Nunez remain at Liverpool?

With Arne Slot in hunt for new striker, there is major doubt over the future of Darwin Nunez at Anfield. Nunez, who has struggled for consistency and was often benched in the latter stages of last season, had been heavily linked with a move to Napoli. However, talks with the Serie A side collapsed after Liverpool held firm on their €60m valuation.

Napoli, unwilling to meet the asking price, turned their attention to Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca, leaving Nunez’s exit route to Italy closed — at least for now. Still, Saudi Pro League clubs remain interested in the Uruguayan, and while no deal has been finalised, there is growing belief that Nunez could leave Merseyside this summer.
