Liverpool are interested in signing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this summer.
Even after seeing their first bid get rejected for the Magpies star, they are still looking to sign the attacker this summer.
The Reds have spent heavily on new signings this summer. The arrival of Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong have made the Merseyside club an even stronger force than last season when they easily managed to win the Premier League title.
Manager Arne Slot has been heavily backed in the transfer window this summer and he is hoping to pull off one more signing with Isak firmly on the radar of the Anfield officials.
Alexander Isak refuses to sign Newcastle United contract
The Magpies are trying their best to keep their star man at the club but Liverpool’s serious interest and his desire to leave might turn things around.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided the latest update on the future of the attacker and what it means for the Premier League champions.
He said on his Youtube channel:
“Isak, I am told, there are new things to say tonight. He has said in a very clear way to Newcastle this week that he is not willing to sign a new contract at the club.
“So Newcastle tried again earlier this week to offer him a new contract, but the player at the moment – we never know in football – has no intention to sign a new contract at Newcastle. Isak wants to go to Liverpool, and so this story remains absolutely on. It’s not over, follow that one.”

With Ekitike the only recognised striker at the club now after the departure of Darwin Nunez to Al Hilal, the Reds need another striker and someone like Isak is going to take them to new heights and make them a formidable attacking force next season, more than they already are…
