Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is reportedly on the verge of a shock transfer to Premier League rivals Liverpool this summer.
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are ready to make a major move for the Swedish international following the completion of Luis Diaz’s transfer to Bayern Munich. Diaz has agreed to join the Bundesliga giants, leaving a gap in Liverpool’s attacking lineup.
Isak is said to be eager to make the switch to Anfield, with reports claiming he is solely focused on joining the Premier League runners-up. Despite reported interest from Saudi side Al-Hilal—who are said to have offered him a staggering £600,000-a-week tax-free deal—Isak has shown no interest in talks outside England.
