Liverpool look to have been boosted in their pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak after cashing in from the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich.
The Colombia international has just left Anfield for the Allianz Arena in a big-money move that looks set to help fund a deal for Isak.
Newcastle won’t want to sell their star centre-forward, but it looks like Isak wants to leave for Liverpool, and talks are progressing well.
See below for Florian Plettenberg’s post yesterday about Isak and Liverpool, with the Sweden international’s camp seemingly growing in confidence that this deal can be done…

Now there’s been a further update from Christian Falk for CF Bayern Insider, who says the money from the Diaz sale looks set to go into Liverpool’s bid for Isak.
Falk said: “I heard that Liverpool wants to put the money they earned from selling Luis Diaz towards a potential deal with Newcastle for Alexander Isak.”
Alexander Isak to Liverpool likely to cost record transfer fee
Selling Diaz could perhaps have been seen as a bit risky by LFC, as the former Porto man was a key performer for Arne Slot’s side as they won the Premier League title last season.

Still, if the money funds a move for Isak then it makes sense as a necessary deal for the Merseyside giants as the NUFC front-man surely won’t come cheap.
In fact, as Plettenberg posted above, it looks like this is expected to be a record Premier League transfer.
