Alexander Isak is close to a record £130 million move to Liverpool following a series of unpleasant conflicts with Newcastle.
If the deal goes through, the Swedish striker could make his debut for the Reds right after the international break.
But one rule might affect even him.
The thing is, at Anfield there is the iconic “This Is Anfield” plaque, which players usually touch before stepping onto the pitch.
During Jürgen Klopp’s era, there was a rule: only those who had already won trophies with the club could touch it. Klopp himself explained that it was a sign of respect and a special ritual for those who had etched their names into the history of the Merseysiders.

It is still unknown whether Arne Slot has continued this tradition. If he has, even record signing Isak won’t be able to touch the legendary plaque until he wins his first trophy with the club.
By the way, Isak already has three titles in his career, including the Carabao Cup, which he won with Newcastle.
