Liverpool Boost as Isak Demands Anfield Move Amid £150m Valuation

Liverpool have received a big boost in their efforts to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak .

According to Fabrizio Romano , Isak only wants to join the Merseyside titans this summer despite interest from many other clubs.

Newcastle have been adamant that the Swedish footballer is not for sale in this transfer window.

But the striker has clearly expressed his desire to leave St James’ Park , putting the Magpies in a difficult situation.

Liverpool are expected to make a formal approach for Isak in the coming days, despite spending £79m to sign Hugo Ektike from Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Premier League champions will likely have to break the British transfer record for the 25-year-old, as he is reportedly valued at £150m by Newcastle.

Given their big outlay this summer, doubts were raised about their ability to sign Isak in the current window.

But it emerges Arne Slot’s side can afford to spend another £200m and remain compliant with Profit and Sustainability Rules.

They have been frugal in the previous three transfer windows, and also banked £174.9m in prize money for winning the Premier League last season.

Liverpool are also set for a financial boost as they are close to selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich.

The two clubs have reportedly reached an agreement worth up to £65m , with the Colombian also keen on the move.

The Reds are also open to offers for Darwin Nunez, who has been attracting interest from Saudi Arabia.
