Liverpool are closing in on a move for Alexander Isak.
The Reds made their first bid for the Swedish international on Friday afternoon. This bid was firmly rejected however while at this moment in time Liverpool don’t plan to bid again, the Reds are still highly likely to sign Isak by the end of the window.
That’s because Newcastle’s star forward has made it clear he wants to leave the club. Not only that but he wants to join Liverpool.
This is why Isak did not travel to Asia for Newcastle’s pre-season tour and had instead trained in Spain, away from the club’s facilities.
It’s very clear that the Swede wants to join Liverpool and the Reds would like to sign him.
This has been reiterated by a Swedish football expert, who exclusively told Anfield Watch he believes Isak will end up at Anfield.
Speaking exclusively on Anfield Watch’s YouTube channel, Journalist and Swedish football expert Maxi Angelo explained that he believes the Reds are closing in on securing a transfer for Isak, and that he is confident that the Swede will end-up signing for the club:
“I do believe so [that Isak will end-up at Liverpool],” Angelo said.
“I think from what I’ve been able to read and hear it, it feels like Alexander Isak as far as the relationship between Isak and Newcastle, it’s at least reaching a point of no return. I think it says quite a lot that he’s not even training at the Newcastle facilities.
“I don’t see why he wouldn’t do that unless something’s off. Even though he’s not in Asia for the pre-season tour, he could still train at the Newcastle facilities to rehabilitate from an injury. But he’s not and I think that’s quite telling.
“As far as a percentage goes, I would say maybe 60% or 70% [how likely it is at this stage]. That’s just my gut feeling. I think it’s getting more and more advanced each day.”
