Liverpool is prepared to extend a record-breaking contract to the “World’s Best Striker.” GIVEMESPORT sources have disclosed on the most recent episode of our Market Madness podcast that Liverpool is continuing to pursue Alexander Isak and is prepared to submit a substantial proposal for the Newcastle United player,

 

 

 

despite their awareness that any agreement will be challenging. Arne Slot, the manager of the Reds, is resolute in his commitment to enhance his squad in the wake of their successful 2024/25 Premier League campaign. As a result of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s decision to join Real Madrid rather than sign a new long-term contract, Jeremie Frimpong has secured a £29.5million transfer.

 

 

 

 

The Merseyside heavyweights have set their sights on splurging even more cash as they make preparations for their title defense. Germany international Wirtz is on course to be announced as Liverpool’s latest recruit in the coming days, having agreed a deal worth up to £116.5million last week.

 

 

 

 

The Reds are prepared to invest significant funds in the pursuit of Isak.According to GMS sources, Liverpool is prepared to submit an offer of £100 million plus add-ons, which would exceed the sum agreed upon with Bayer Leverkusen for Wirtz. This would represent a second consecutive attempt to break the British transfer record.

 

 

 

 

The 25-year-old Sweden international has been referred to as “the best striker in the world” as a result of his performance in a Newcastle shirt. The Reds witnessed firsthand the potential of the striker when presented with opportunities, as he scored the winning goal in the Carabao Cup final during the 2024/25 campaign.

 

 

 

 

Liverpool is currently in pursuit of a new, high-profile center forward, and they have identified Isak as their ideal candidate. Consequently, they are interested in determining whether Newcastle would be amenable to permit his departure following a successful season at St. James’ Park.

 

 

 

This information was obtained from GMS sources.Slot is also keen to ensure that he heads into the next term with additional firepower at his disposal, but the Reds are in line to finalize the acquisition of Milos Kerkez next week. This will come as a significant boost, as the Bournemouth man has been their primary left-back target this summer.

 

 

 

 

GMS sources have learned that Newcastle’s qualification for the Champions League has made it more probable that Isak will only be sold if a bid of at least £150 million is submitted. However, Liverpool has already indicated that they are willing to spend a significant amount if it is determined that he will be sold at the appropriate price.

 

 

 

 

Liverpool’s interest in recruiting Isak has risen, according to GMS sources, as the club anticipates Darwin Nunez’s departure. Nunez has been on the radar of Napoli, Atletico Madrid, and Saudi Pro League teams, and the club intends to allocate any proceeds from his departure to the recruitment of his replacement. During the winter transfer window, the Reds declined a £59 million offer from

 

 

 

 

Al-Nassr, as the Anfield hierarchy was adamant about not offloading members of their squad while they were in the midst of a title pursuit. However, they would be amenable to accepting an offer of the same value for the Uruguayan ahead of the new season. According to GMS sources, Liverpool’s intention to prioritize the acquisition of a new forward later this month has led to the inclusion of Joao Pedro,

 

 

 

 

Hugo Ekitike, and Benjamin Sesko from Brighton & Hove Albion, Eintracht Frankfurt, and RB Leipzig, respectively, on their shortlist. Additionally, Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon is considered a left-sided option in the event that Luis Diaz departs.
