There has been a flurry of departures for Liverpool’s centre-forwards, including Uruguayan international Darwin Nunez and Portuguese international Diogo Jota.
In addition, Colombian international winger Luis Diaz and Italian international Federico Chiesa are also in the transfer window.
The Merseyside club may make significant front-line changes for next season. With an increasing reliance on Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo towards the second half of the season, sustained scoring is an issue that needs to be resolved.
And the leading target is said to be Swedish international Alexander Isak of Newcastle United, who beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
Following La Liga, he holds a dominant decision-making rate in the Premier League and can adapt to a style of play that makes the most of the players around him.
He is one of the top-ranked forwards in the world and the battle for the player is heating up.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, revealed that Liverpool have already made contact with his entourage, while Arsenal, who are competing for the domestic league title this season, are also keen on the player.
“Liverpool have already made contact with people close to Alexander Isak.”
“Big big massive proposals will come to the table for Alexander Isak,”
“Newcastle keep insisting in private and public that they want to keep Isak.”
“Arsenal will be there, they want Isak and both clubs are interested. For Arsenal, he is the absolute top target.”
“For Liverpool, he’s one of the names they are considering in that position,”

After spells at Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad, he joined Newcastle in August 2022.
With his slender physique, he shook off any scepticism about how much he could achieve in the Premier League, where there are many strong defenders, with his performances on the pitch.
On the contrary, his reputation has been on the rise, with over 20 goals in the last two years, including in all competitions. This season he has been even more accurate, and with 23 goals after 33 games, he is sure to surpass last season’s 25.
He is certainly an attractive striker for clubs other than Liverpool and Arsenal, so will the Swedish forward make the step up this summer…?
