Alexander Isak next?! Liverpool to target Newcastle striker after Florian Wirtz deal with Reds willing to sacrifice two stars in effort to raise funds for Swedish star

Liverpool stunned the rest of England by winning the Premier League title during Slot's first season in charge and it looks like the Dutchman is going all out to try and replicate that achievement in 2025-26. Reports suggest the Reds are on the verge of signing Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz for €150million (£127m) and will then turn their attentions to bringing in a striker.

Isak is hot property across Europe after a stellar campaign for Newcastle but Liverpool are believed to be considering a move for the Swedish striker. It would likely take another £100m at least to pry the Magpies' prized possession away from them after he helped Eddie Howe's side win the Carabao Cup and secure Champions League football next season.

Isak bagged 27 goals across all competitions last term. He is contracted at St James' Park until 2028.

Had Newcastle failed to qualify for Europe's top competition next season, there may be a higher chance of Isak leaving this summer. However it is likely that the club will do everything they can to convince the Swede to stay on Tyneside despite interest from Liverpool.
