Liverpool are preparing a bold move this summer, and it’s aimed right at Newcastle’s top scorer Alexander Isak.
The Reds are expected to submit a £130 million bid for Swedish striker Alexander Isak, as they look to add firepower up front ahead of the new season.
Isak, 25, has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time, and now they are ready to act. The move comes amid growing belief that Darwin Nunez could leave Anfield.
With interest from Napoli and Al Hilal for the Uruguayan, Liverpool may need a new No. 9 sooner rather than later.
Liverpool have already spent big on Florian Wirtz, but they seem far from done. Arne Slot clearly wants to build a fresh attack — and Isak might be the next big piece.

Why Liverpool wants Alexander Isak?
It’s not hard to see why Liverpool are chasing Isak. The Newcastle forward scored 27 goals last season and has 62 in just over 100 games for the Magpies. He’s quick, sharp, and comfortable with the ball at his feet — the kind of striker who fits right into Liverpool’s high-speed style.
Isak’s contract still has three years left, and Newcastle have insisted he’s not for sale. But with Liverpool ready to throw serious cash on the table, the story might not end there. After all, every club has its price — even if it’s sky-high.
With Diogo Jota’s tragic passing and Darwin Nunez possibly heading out, Liverpool are short of options in the striker role. Isak, with his proven record in England, seems like a natural upgrade. He could be the missing piece in a team already stacked with Salah, Diaz, and Gakpo.
If this deal goes through, defenses across the league better be ready — Isak might just be bringing the thunder to Merseyside.
