Liverpool Make Opening Bid for Isak as Newcastle Respond

MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, JUL 15 – Liverpool are preparing to break their transfer record with a £130 million bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak as they seek a world-class striker to replace Darwin Nunez, sources say.

  • A blockbuster £120 million bid for Alexander Isak was contemplated by Liverpool on Wednesday, with Newcastle’s desire to hold onto him confirmed.
  • Newcastle United refused to sell Alexander Isak, and their €80 million bid for Ekitike was rejected, prompting Liverpool to initiate talks for Ekitike.
  • Last season, Hugo Ekitike scored 15 goals and made eight assists for Eintracht Frankfurt, adding seven Europa League goal contributions.
  • With Isak unavailable, Liverpool have opened discussions with Frankfurt for Ekitike, entering the race alongside Newcastle United, whose €70 million bid was turned down.
  • Should Liverpool complete a deal for Alexander Isak, it would break its transfer record a second time this summer after signing Florian Wirtz for up to $155 million.
