Liverpool aware of Alexander Isak’s wishes to leave Newcastle and it is a genuine possibility that the club could make another formal approach for him, despite his extraordinary transfer cost.
He’s been the Reds’ main transfer target all summer and the chance to sign him is too good to ignore.
So while a lot of fans might have considered Liverpool’s striker hunt to be over since Hugo Ekitike has been signed for £79m, a record shattering move for Isak remains very much on the cards.
And while we can all point to Liverpool as the main suitors for him, whether Isak actually wants to move to Merseyside was in doubt up until now, but his intentions have now been formally revealed.
According to Fabrizio Romano, who initially broke the news that Liverpool were still interested in Isak, despite the Ekitike transfer, personal terms with the Swedish striker are unlikely to be an issue.
He said: “Once again: Alexander Isak wants Liverpool, it’s his priority as reported.
“No talks with Al Hilal, Chelsea or Manchester United.”
So while it felt unlikely that anyone else really had a chance of signing Isak, it’s now been confirmed that no one else has approached the player or Newcastle since his intention to leave was announced.
That is an enormous piece of information that we previously didn’t know. The player remaining a target for Liverpool was one thing, but for the interest to be reciprocated is massive for our chances.
