Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has thrown his weight behind two potential blockbuster signings for his former club, urging the Reds to secure Newcastle United's Alexander Isak and Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz to revitalise their attacking options.
Carragher's Bold Transfer Recommendations
The Sky Sports pundit believes the Swedish striker and German playmaker could provide the spark Liverpool need to challenge for top honours next season. "I'd go and get Isak from Newcastle, I think he's that good," Carragher declared during a recent analysis segment.
Why Alexander Isak?
The 24-year-old Newcastle forward has impressed since his club-record £63m move from Real Sociedad in 2022. His combination of pace, technical ability and clinical finishing has marked him as one of the Premier League's most dangerous attackers.
"He's got everything you'd want in a modern striker," Carragher explained. "Great movement, can play on the shoulder, links play well and most importantly - he scores goals."
The Florian Wirtz Factor
Carragher also highlighted 20-year-old Bayer Leverkusen sensation Florian Wirtz as another potential game-changer for Liverpool. The attacking midfielder has been instrumental in Leverkusen's Bundesliga title charge this season.
"Wirtz is that creative spark Liverpool sometimes lack in midfield," Carragher noted. "His vision, close control and ability to unlock defences would add a new dimension to Klopp's side."
Liverpool's Summer Rebuild
With Jurgen Klopp set to leave at season's end, Liverpool face a crucial summer transfer window. The potential arrivals of Isak and Wirtz would signal serious intent from the Merseyside club as they look to build on this season's title challenge.
While Newcastle will be reluctant to sell their star striker, financial fair play considerations could force their hand. Wirtz, meanwhile, is expected to be one of Europe's most sought-after talents this summer.
Carragher's recommendations come as Liverpool prepare for life after Klopp, with the club's recruitment team facing pressure to deliver signings that can maintain their status as Premier League contenders.
