Under new manager Arne Slot’s leadership, Liverpool are reportedly gearing up for an assertive summer transfer window, with Alexander Isak emerging as a key target to enhance their attacking options, according to GIVEMESPORT. Despite Newcastle United making it clear that only a record-breaking fee would persuade them to sell their star striker, Liverpool remain undeterred. Interest in the Swedish international continues to build, and a formal offer may be on the horizon.
Virgil van Dijk’s recent contract renewal added fuel to the belief that Liverpool are preparing for a major squad refresh. His public comments about being excited for the future have been widely interpreted as a signal of big-name arrivals to come, as Slot enters his second season at the helm.
Isak is currently under contract at Newcastle until 2027 and earns approximately £120,000 per week—factors that give the Magpies a strong hand in negotiations. However, Newcastle’s difficulties in securing a contract extension for the 24-year-old have opened a window of opportunity for Liverpool. The Reds are reportedly prepared to offer Isak a significantly improved salary, along with the chance to consistently compete for major trophies—an enticing prospect for a player looking to elevate his career.
Liverpool may also benefit from decreased competition, as Chelsea and Arsenal are believed to have cooled their interest due to Newcastle’s firm valuation. Their push for Isak comes amid uncertainty surrounding several current attackers, including Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, and recent addition Federico Chiesa—all of whom have been linked with potential moves away.
While Isak remains the top priority, Liverpool are also monitoring RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško. The 20-year-old has enjoyed a standout season in the Bundesliga and is being considered as a backup option if talks with Newcastle stall.
Ultimately, Liverpool’s pursuit of Isak is part of a broader strategy to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title again in 2025–26. With Slot looking to strengthen the solid base laid in his debut campaign, securing a player of Isak’s caliber would send a clear message to rivals—and reaffirm Liverpool’s ambition to stay at the summit of English football.
