Transfer News: Isak boost for Liverpool after latest Newcastle and Arsenal revelation

An update has reportedly renewed Liverpool’s prospects of landing Alexander Isak.

Liverpool's pursuit of Alexander Isak has intensified, with a recent report suggesting a deal for the Newcastle United striker is now plausible. 

Despite already spending heavily this summer, including a British record fee for Florian Wirtz, the Reds remain keen to add a new centre-half and a striker. 

A move for Isak could become another record-breaking transfer for the club.

Will Liverpool sign Isak?

According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle's financial situation, particularly concerns over Profit and Sustainability Rules, could necessitate a high-profile sale to fund Eddie Howe's desired squad additions. 

While Howe wants to strengthen, selling Isak might be necessary to lift financial restrictions.

Significantly, Arsenal's long-standing interest in the top forward is now considered negligible due to the sheer financial demands.

Further reports indicate that Liverpool are the only Premier League club capable of funding a move for Isak, and the Reds have the wherewithal to meet the striker’s wage expectations. 

Although Newcastle are said to value their asset at around £150 million, the Premier League champions will continue to monitor the situation, potentially making a move next month if encouraged.
