With Diaz heading to Germany, the Reds are set to go hell for leather to sign wantaway Newcastle star Alexander Isak .

The Swede, 25, last week informed the Toon that he wants to leave St James' Park .

Isak has not gone on his club's pre-season Asia tour amid intense transfer speculation.

Reports suggest that the prolific striker has agreed personal terms with Liverpool .

But the Reds will have to cough up a huge fee for the deal to happen.

With three years remaining on Isak's contract, Newcastle are demanding £150m for their star man.

The two clubs are set to meet in the coming days, with Liverpool reportedly believing that they can whittle the Toon's asking price down to £120m.

Should Liverpool land their man, Newcastle's desperate striker search will intensify further.

Eddie Howe 's side have already been knocked back by Hugo Ekitike , who instead headed to Liverpool in a £79m move .

Newcastle are now targeting RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko , who is claimed to be available for around £70m.

Having also let Isak's deputy Callum Wilson leave on a free transfer earlier this summer, the Toon may need to recruit more than one striker in the coming weeks.

Ollie Watkins , rated at between £40m and £45m by Aston Villa , is on Newcastle's radar.

While fellow Premier League stars Yoane Wissa and Nicolas Jackson have also been linked.

Newcastle's swoops could be scuppered by Manchester United , who continue to lurk in the striker market.

The Red Devils have already splurged around £130m on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo .

But despite this expensive outlay, Ruben Amorim 's side are believed to still be coveting a central striker.

SunSport understands that Sesko and Watkins are Man Utd's top two striker targets .

Aston Villa have so far resisted enquiries for Watkins this summer.

Should their stance change, Unai Emery 's side would surely swoop for a striker before the August deadline.

SunSport reported yesterday that free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin has caught Villa's eye.
