Bayern Munich are set to launch a renewed attempt to sign Luis Díaz from Liverpool, with a second offer reportedly on the cards. While Díaz remains with the Liverpool squad during their pre-season tour in Asia, discussions surrounding his potential departure have intensified behind the scenes.
Liverpool are still keeping tabs on Alexander Isak despite signing Hugo Ekitike, with the Newcastle United striker keen to leave St James’ Park. The Reds remain interested in a potential £130 million ($176m) move, but will only act if the Magpies soften their stance and Luis Diaz departs. Despite reports, it is now reported that Isak is not currently in talks with Al-Hilal.
Alexander Isak has rocked Newcastle United by informing the Magpies of his desire to leave this summer, with Liverpool and Al-Hilal circling. The Swedish striker missed the Magpies’ pre-season tour of East Asia due to a reported thigh injury, but it has now emerged that the in-demand striker wants to explore a big-money move away from St. James' Park this summer.
Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal have reportedly entered the race to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak. Al-Hilal, who are looking for a new forward, are ready to compete with Liverpool to secure a transfer for the Swedish striker. The club are reportedly preparing a massive €130 million (£112m/$151m) offer to convince the Magpies to part ways with Isak.
Alexander Isak's future at Newcastle United remains up in the air as he was left out of the squad for their pre-season friendly against Celtic at Parkhead. Manager Eddie Howe confirmed that the Swedish striker was deliberately withdrawn from the matchday squad as speculation around a potential move to Liverpool continues to gather pace.
Liverpool are desperate to add a new No.9 to their squad ahead of the new season, but will have to look elsewhere now that Alexander Isak no longer seems to be an option
Liverpool’s hopes of signing Alexander Isak have reportedly been dashed after Newcastle’s Saudi ownership stepped in to block any potential sale — even if the striker pushes for a move. The Reds were prepared to table a British-record £130 million ($175m) offer, but the Magpies have made it clear the Swedish star is not for sale at any price this summer.
Anthony Elanga, Newcastle United's new £55 million ($74m) recruit from Nottingham Forest, has expressed his admiration for international team-mate Alexander Isak, labelling the striker among the world’s elite. However, Elanga also made it clear that speculation surrounding Isak’s future at St James Park is part and parcel of being a top player, referring to the transfer chatter as little more than “noise.”
