There’s nothing ongoing between Alexander Isak and Al Hilal now.Isak has already turned down Saudi options, he said no as his wish remains to play at the highest level in Europe.The

Just because Liverpool could most likely afford Alexander Isak this summer, doesn’t mean they will sign the Newcastle star. After all, they have just recruited an exciting, young centre-forward who shares similar characteristics with the Swede, and a fee of £120–150 million could still dissuade them from pursuing a deal.

Alexander Isak has been linked with a summer switch to Liverpool after informing Newcastle United of his desire to leave.

There’s reason for hope, though. “Newcastle are targeting RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, who has been linked with several European clubs this summer,” suggests the club has its eyes on top-tier talent. Sesko is dynamic, raw, and full of upside. If paired with a player like Larsen, the duo could even rival Isak’s individual impact.

Liverpool have been backed to sell Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez in order to land Alexander Isak from Newcastle.

These factors mean that Isak’s value — around £100m, by consensus — might be affordable to some clubs. But the transfer landscape and Newcastle’s resolve means that his price — possibly over £150m — is borderline unreachable. Whether Liverpool or anyone else could and would be prepared to go that high remains unclear.

Liverpool have been very active in the ongoing summer transfer window. The Reds broke their club transfer record when they brought in Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £116.5 million.

Alexander Isak seeks a move away from Newcastle while Viktor Gyokeres will join Arsenal this weekend and Man City are set to re-sign goalkeeper James Trafford.
