Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on Newcastle United's star striker Alexander Isak as a potential replacement for Darwin Nunez, whose future at Anfield remains uncertain.
The Reds have been linked with several forwards this summer, including Juventus' Federico Chiesa, but Isak has emerged as a top target. The Swedish international has impressed since joining Newcastle in 2022, showcasing his pace, technical ability, and eye for goal.
Nunez's Anfield Exit Looms
Darwin Nunez, who joined Liverpool from Benfica in a big-money deal two years ago, has struggled for consistency. Recent reports suggest the Uruguayan could be on his way out, with Barcelona among the clubs interested.
If Nunez departs, Liverpool will need a proven Premier League striker to fill the void – and Isak fits the bill perfectly.
Isak's Stellar Form
The 24-year-old scored 21 goals in 30 Premier League appearances last season, cementing his status as one of the league's most lethal forwards. His ability to play across the front line makes him an attractive option for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Newcastle, however, are unlikely to let their prized asset leave without a fight. The Magpies value Isak at around £90 million, a figure that could test Liverpool's resolve.
Chiesa Also in the Mix
While Isak appears to be the primary target, Liverpool have also been monitoring Federico Chiesa. The Italian winger has rediscovered his form at Juventus after injury struggles, but his £50 million price tag and preference for a wide role could see the Reds prioritise Isak.
With the transfer window heating up, Liverpool's attacking reinforcements could define their season. Will Isak be the next big name to arrive at Anfield?
