Liverpool’s search for a new striker this summer warms up, Alexander Isak continuing to be linked to the Anfield club.
According to Fabrizio Romano’s latest update on his YouTube channelIsak is the priority for the Reds firmly, leaving Arsenal – which is also considered to be the situation closely – perspiration.
Isak, who has been a long -standing target for the Gunners, is considered a leading option for manager Mikel Arteta. However, Newcastle United clearly said that the Swedish striker is not currently for sale, insisting that he is untouchable.
Romano has now suggested that any Isak proposal will have to exceed 70 to 90 million euros to convince Newcastle to separate from him, and Arsenal and Liverpool are ready to enter the auction war.
With Darwin Nunez who should leave the club in summer, Isak is on their list in potential replacement. Liverpool is ready for a busy summer, and Romano thinks that Isak could be a key element of their plans in the future.
For Arsenal, however, Isak is more than a simple target – it’s an obsession, explains Romano. I wanted to confirm once again the targets of the attacker I mentioned. It is sure, Alexander Isak is the priority for Arsenal, but Liverpool also closely monitors his situation. Thus, Liverpool and Arsenal will be in the mixture for the player, and it really depends on what Newcastle decides concerning the future of the player.
“If you speak in Newcastle today, they insist that the player is not for sale and is untouchable. However, when these clubs have important offers, we will have to see what type of figures they are ready to present. Forget around 70 to 80 to 90 million euros; You will have to be more than that to convince Newcastle.
Darwin Nunez is likely to be sold, according to Fabrizio Romano
Romano continued: “Arsenal will be there, Liverpool will be there, and it will be a busy summer to Liverpool – we will approach it in the coming days.
“Remember what I mentioned about Darwin Nunez: he should leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window. Alexander Isak is one of the names on their list, but for Arsenal, Isak is an obsession. Arsenal has wanted it for a long time, and it is considered fantastic by Mikel Arteta. It will certainly be an interesting situation to follow. »»
