BREAKING NEWS LIVE 》Liverpool prepared to use two players in outrageous swap deal for Alexander Isak and it’d strengthen Newcastle in problem position

Alexander Isak has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United.

Liverpool could reportedly use two players in a stunning swap deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.

It has been reported that Liverpool are likely to be active in the summer transfer window after only bringing in Federico Chiesa last year.

The likes of Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have all been linked with a move away from Anfield.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold is said to be closing in on a free transfer to Real Madrid, with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk also out of contract come the summer.

In turn, the Reds have been linked with the likes of Isak, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong.

It has been claimed that Newcastle are set to demand at least £150 million for Isak, which could prove to be a problem for Liverpool.

As reported by talkSPORT, Liverpool could look to make a players plus cash offer for the striker.

Last summer, it was suggested that the Magpies were close to signing Joe Gomez and fellow defender Jarell Quansah was ‘touted as a potential makeweight when the Reds were trying to prise Anthony Gordon away from St James Park’. Both defenders could now be used as part of a bid to bring Isak to Anfield.

Isak will be one of the most sought-after players this summer after his impressive displays for Newcastle.

So far in the 24/25 season, the Swedish international has managed 23 goals and five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.

Speaking about Isak earlier in the month, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said: “Arsenal want Isak, (Benjamin) Sesko is the other name on the list.

“Liverpool are also there for Alexander Isak, already made some contact with the people close to the player.”

He continued: “Both clubs are interested in Alexander Isak, for Arsenal, he is the absolute top target, for Liverpool, he is one of the names they are considering in that position.

“And we will see what Newcastle want to do because they keep insisting they want to keep the player. But, we know, when there is important money on the table, sometimes, it is about the financial fair play and all these things.”

Newcastle to ‘break wage structure’ to keep Alexander Isak as staggering new contract proposed

Newcastle are desperate to hold on to their key striker.

Newcastle are set to ‘break their wage structure’ to agree a new contract with star striker Alexander Isak, it has been reported.

Isak signed for the Magpies from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022, for a fee of £63 million.

He has since developed into one of the world’s top strikers and has scored 23 goals in all competitions this season.

One of those goals came in the 2-1 Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool on Sunday, which has secured Europa League football for Eddie Howe’s side next season.

The aim will still be to ensure that Champions League football returns to Tyneside.

That could yet prove pivotal to whether Isak stays at the club or not amid reported interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona.

Whether those clubs could afford to sign him is another question, with asking prices well in excess of £100 million being quoted by various reports.

But Newcastle are already attempting to ward off interest in one of their key players.

According to GiveMeSport, the Magpies have decided that Isak ‘warrants’ a contract that will see him earn more than £200,000 per week.

He is currently one of the club’s top earners on £120,000 per week.

As per Spotrac, only team captain Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Anthony Gordon earn more money than the Swedish striker.

Speaking to Sky Sports after Newcastle won the Carabao Cup, he said: “It’s amazing, honestly. I think this is really just the start.

“We’re all aware of how much it means, and how long it’s been without a trophy. For us to be able to give the fans that is amazing.

“First half was a bit frustrating for me, I didn’t really have much to work on. But I kept telling myself, and my team-mates and the staff told me, that my chance would come.

“I think when you go without a trophy for such a long time, it can be in the back of your head. But hopefully now we’ve won this it can just be bright days in front of us.”
