The Reds are on the hunt for a new frontman after winning the top-flight title in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/arne-slot\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arne Slot<\/a>\u2019s maiden campaign in charge.<\/p>\n<p>Isak has been a revelation at St James\u2019 Park since joining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a> from Real Sociedad three years ago. The 25-year-old has bagged 62 goals in 109 games for the Magpies and has become one of the most clinical finishers in world football. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a> are said to be demanding more than \u00a3150million to sanction his exit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> won\u2019t want to be priced out of a deal as they look to win back-to-back Premier League titles for the first time ever. And Express Sport takes a look at four stars the Reds could offer the Magpies in part-exchange for Isak to get a deal over the line.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin Nunez<\/p>\n<p>Darwin Nunez appears to be surplus to requirements at Anfield and has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. But the two-time Premier League champions could offer him the chance to stay in England by presenting him to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although he\u2019s struggled in front of goal during his time at Anfield, the 25-year-old has the pace and physicality to cause defenders issues whenever he takes to the pitch. And he could provide Eddie Howe\u2019s side with a new dimension in attack.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Robertson<\/p>\n<p>Andy Robertson won\u2019t be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>\u2019s first-choice left-back next season if the Reds <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2069531\/liverpool-agree-milos-kerkez-deal-shirt-number\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complete a deal<\/a> to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for \u00a345m.<\/p>\n<p>The Scotland international has starred in the north west and has won a host of trophies since arriving from Hull in 2017. But he only has one year remaining on his contract and has been tipped to depart Anfield to sign for Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old would have plenty to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a> if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> denied him the opportunity to move to Spain and instead included him in the Isak deal.<\/p>\n<p>Jarell Quansah<\/p>\n<p>Jarell Quansah failed to establish himself under Slot last season, with Ibrahima Konate preferred at the heart of defence alongside Virgil van Dijk. But the 22-year-old is clearly a talented man and could be a Premier League star in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>He would likely jump at the chance to be a regular starter at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a>, who will play in the Champions League next season. And his inclusion in a deal for Isak would make a dent in the transfer fee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a> are said to be demanding.<\/p>\n<p>Harvey Elliott<\/p>\n<p>If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a> would prefer a player who can make an impact in the middle of the pitch, Harvey Elliott could be the man for them.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old has already featured 147 times for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> first-team, bagging 15 goals and 20 assists in those encounters.<\/p>\n<p>But he\u2019s another player who isn\u2019t assured of a place in Slot\u2019s starting line-up, so the Reds could attempt to convince <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/newcastle-united-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newcastle<\/a> that he would improve Howe\u2019s side. And if the Magpies bite, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/liverpool-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>\u2019s pursuit of Isak may become affordable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are said to be chasing the signature of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak this summer after the Sweden&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":196823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[9261,33159,8904,22689,53169,763,11492,79,11947,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-196822","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alexander-isak","9":"tag-andy-robertson","10":"tag-darwin-nunez","11":"tag-harvey-elliott","12":"tag-jarell-quansah","13":"tag-liverpool-fc","14":"tag-newcastle-united-fc","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-transfer-news-section","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114709412417658719","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
