Fabrizio Romano has provided some insight into Alexander Isak’s thinking amid transfer interest from Liverpool this summer.
Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Romano explained that Liverpool are now pushing ahead with a move to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.
However, Newcastle front-man Isak was also a target for the Reds, and it seems the Sweden international is remaining calm about the situation.
Even if Liverpool will probably find a deal for Ekitike more realistic as Newcastle surely won’t want to sell Isak to a Premier League rival, it seems the player himself is not closing the doors to a possible move to Anfield.

Discussing Isak’s mood during all this, Romano said: “From what I’m hearing, Alexander Isak is very calm.
“He knows very well that Newcastle want to keep him and he knows that Newcastle want to offer him a really important contract.
“At the same time, he knows that Liverpool would offer not just important money but an ambitious project, too.
“So Alexander Isak is not closing doors to this possibility and Liverpool were never going to make club-to-club contact without a feeling that the player would be open to the idea of a move.”
