Liverpool have been backed to sell Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez in order to land Alexander Isak from Newcastle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds have had a sensational summer transfer window as Arne Slot wastes no time in consolidating his first Premier League title.<\/p>\n

Florian Wirtz\u2019s signature, worth over \u00a3100million from Bayer Leverkusen<\/a>, rocked the transfer market.<\/p>\n

Further additions in Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth and Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt<\/a> shows Liverpool mean serious business ahead of the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

Success on Merseyside inevitably will attract the world\u2019s best players, including Newcastle\u2019s<\/a> Isak.<\/p>\n

The Swede has been linked with a move to Anfield all summer as Slot looks to bolster his attack, seeking to dominate across all competitions next season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Key Liverpool sales would be enough to bring in Isak<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on talkSPORT<\/a> (24 July), ex-Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor<\/a> proposed how Liverpool could raise the necessary funds to buy \u201c\u00a3130m\u201d Isak.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIf you look at Liverpool turning down Bayern Munich offers for \u00a360-70m for [Luis] Diaz, Harvey Elliott is a \u00a340m player minimum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you look at [Darwin] Nunez, you want \u00a350m for him, so you\u2019ve got the funds there selling those players to pay for [Alexander] Isak.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Agbonlahor highlighted who the Reds should sell to get their hands on IsakReds could be risking depth to sign expensive players<\/strong><\/p>\n

Football Insider verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst there is no doubt the signing of the Swedish striker would be an excellent acquisition, selling three players to fund one may backfire.<\/p>\n

Given the expected fixture congestion, Slot must ensure he has enough players to rotate throughout the season.<\/p>\n

It is part of the reason why Man City<\/a> under Pep Guardiola have been do dominant due to the sheer size of the squad.<\/p>\n

This allowed them to compete on all fronts, leading to frequent doubles and troubles during their conquering reign<\/p>\n

In particular, the exit of Diaz would leave the left-hand side looking extremely light.<\/p>\n

The Colombian was rotated with Cody Gakpo last season and his departure would leave the Dutchman as Liverpool\u2019s only recognised left-winger.<\/p>\n

Nunez\u2019s sale would not affect the striker position should Isak come the other way, yet the Swede has shown he is injury prone during his spell at Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Although it has been an excellent window on Merseyside, caution may be needed to not risk losing squad depth for one single player.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
