Liverpool are reportedly keen on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak but are unwilling to engage in a bidding war for the Sweden international. The 25-year-old forward was recently observed training alone on Tyneside, having been excluded from the Magpies ’ pre-season tours to Singapore and South Korea amidst swirling transfer speculation.

Alexander Isak remains Liverpool’s number one target as they look to sign a striker after cashing in on Darwin Nunez. However, the Reds’ transfer policy of only paying what they believe is fair market value raises questions about his next move.

Darwin Nunez is set to undergo a medical after Liverpool agreed a fee of €53million plus bonuses with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal for the Uruguayan striker. It brings to an end Nunez’s three-year stay at Anfield after arriving from Benfica for an initial fee of €75 million in 2022.
