Liverpool Eye Federico Chiesa as Newcastle Hold Firm on Alexander Isak
Liverpool eye Chiesa; Newcastle refuse Isak sale

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a move for Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, as the Reds look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season. The Italian international, known for his pace and creativity, could be a key addition to Jürgen Klopp's squad.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have made it clear that star striker Alexander Isak is not for sale, despite growing interest from top clubs. Manager Eddie Howe has emphasised the Swede's importance to the Magpies' ambitions, shutting down any speculation of a summer departure.

Chiesa's Potential Premier League Move

With Liverpool seeking to refresh their forward line, Federico Chiesa has emerged as a prime target. The 26-year-old has been a standout performer for Juventus and the Italian national team, with his versatility allowing him to play on either flank or as a secondary striker.

However, any deal would likely require a significant fee, with Juventus reluctant to lose one of their key assets. Liverpool’s interest signals their intent to compete at the highest level next season.

Newcastle’s Stance on Isak

Alexander Isak has been a revelation since joining Newcastle, with his clinical finishing and intelligent movement making him indispensable. Despite rumours linking him with a move away, the club’s hierarchy and manager Eddie Howe have reiterated their desire to retain him.

"Alex is a huge part of our plans," Howe stated. "We’re building something special here, and players like him are central to that vision."

With the summer transfer window heating up, both Liverpool and Newcastle will be clubs to watch as they navigate the market.
