Transfer: Liverpool move to sign Isak after wrapping up deal for Wirtz

Liverpool are eyeing a move for Newcastle United striker, Alexander Isak, ahead of next season.

Reds boss, Arne Slot, wants to bring a world-class striker to Anfield.

Slot has now identified Isak as his main target, after Liverpool finalised a deal for Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy in the Dutchman’s first season in charge, and he is eager to defend the title in 2025/2026.

The Reds are on the verge of signing Bayer Leverkusen playmaker, Wirtz for €150 million, £127m and will then turn their attentions to bringing in a striker.

Isak is hot property across Europe after a stellar campaign for Newcastle, but Liverpool is believed to be considering a move for the Swedish striker.

It would likely take another £100m at least to pry the Magpies’ prized possession away from them after he helped Eddie Howe’s side win the Carabao Cup and secure Champions League football next season.
