Liverpool keen on signing Newcastle United star Alexander Isak

Liverpool are keen on signing Newcastle United’s prolific forward Alexander Isak this summer, according to TBR Football.

With seven games remaining, Liverpool are just a few wins away from securing the Premier League title after a great season in Arne Slot’s first stint in charge at Anfield. The club are now working on further bolstering their attack next season with Isak being earmarked as a possible option.

As per TBR, Liverpool have retained interest in Isak for several months and made initial enquiries about signing the forward after holding talks with his representatives after his goal against them in the Carabao Cup final.

Mohamed Salah extended his contract to remain at Anfield for another two years, and TBR Football now claims that the Reds’ proactive move in securing Salah’s extension could help convince Isak to join them in the summer.

Chief correspondent for TBR Football Graeme Bailey also revealed that the club are committed to getting a deal for the Sweden international over the line to form a partnership with Salah.

However, Newcastle remain hesitant to let the lethal forward leave the club as Bailey adds that the Carabao Cup winners plan to improve his wages to keep him at Tyneside beyond the summer.
