Liverpool have already made a number of high-profile signings during this summer transfer window
Florian Wirtz is through the door, Jeremie Frimpong’s already shaking up the right flank, and Milos Kerkez looks set to inject some new life into the left-back role. Liverpool are moving fast this summer — and they’re not done yet.
With the midfield and full-back positions getting major upgrades, all eyes now turn to the front line. A new striker is firmly on the wishlist, and it’s no surprise that Alexander Isak’s name keeps popping up.
He’s one of the hottest forwards in Europe right now — clinical, composed, and tailor-made for a team like Liverpool. But unfortunately, he’s also very much off-limits. At least for now.
Speaking on the Sky Sports Back Pages Podcast, David Ornstein gave the latest on the Isak situation, and while it’s clear Liverpool would love to bring him in, Newcastle aren’t budging.
“The sale of Alexander Isak is not on the agenda for Newcastle,” Ornstein said. “They want him to stay. They’d love him to sign a new deal. And I’m sure if the door was open, Liverpool would look to walk through it — but that door’s not being opened.”
In other words, unless something major changes in the player’s mindset, or Newcastle get an outrageous offer, Isak isn’t going anywhere. And with figures around £150 million being mentioned, it’s easy to see why Liverpool are keeping their options open.
Still, it’s worth remembering that Liverpool have pulled off some surprise moves before, especially when the right opportunity comes up. And Isak would join a long list of Newcastle stars who’ve made the switch to Anfield — with varying results.
Not every deal has been a hit. Andy Carroll’s move still stings for some fans. But Gini Wijnaldum? That was a masterstroke. If Liverpool ever did get their hands on Isak, you’d expect him to land closer to the Wijnaldum end of that scale than the Carroll one.
For now though, it’s all just admiration from afar. Isak looks like the dream signing — but dreaming might be all Reds fans can do unless something drastic changes on Tyneside.
