Liverpool<\/a> could sign Alexander Isak<\/a> for a relative bargain if they adopt a brave new approach in negotiations with Newcastle<\/a>. The Reds are still eager to land Isak despite improving their goal threat with the recent signing of Hugo Ekitike. Arne Slot<\/a> reportedly wants both players in his squad as they go in search of back-to-back Premier League titles.<\/p>\n

Isak is desperate to leave Newcastle<\/a> despite the Swedish forward having three years left on his current deal. He has not travelled with the Magpies squad for their pre-season trip to Asia and is reportedly using Real Sociedad’s facilities to train<\/a>. Even though his situation remains up in the air, Liverpool<\/a> are thought to be making progress behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that Isak has already agreed personal terms with the Reds<\/a>, who are prepared to make him one of their highest earners. However, there has been no breakthrough at club level with a transfer fee yet to be decided.<\/p>\n

Newcastle<\/a> are said to value their man at a whopping \u00a3150million, meaning Liverpool<\/a> would need to smash the British transfer record to secure a move. That is unless they can drive down Isak’s asking price by tabling a unique new proposal.<\/p>\n

They could throw in not one, but two of their players in a part-exchange deal that would see Isak move the other way. Darwin Nunez would be surplus to requirements if Liverpool<\/a> get their man, making him an obvious choice to be included.<\/p>\n

Nunez has already been tipped to depart Anfield this summer and a move to Tyneside could benefit all parties. Playing for a club with lower expectations than Liverpool<\/a> could be just what the Uruguayan needs to reignite his goalscoring form.<\/p>\n

It would also give Newcastle<\/a> an immediate replacement for Isak, which could be tempting given their struggles in the transfer market so far this summer.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> could also decide to include Harvey Elliott in an effort to sweeten the deal. The young midfielder is known to be angling for regular game time and would enjoy a new lease of life at Newcastle<\/a>, who could reap the rewards of his attacking talents.<\/p>\n

Elliott would also bring a high resale value, potentially allowing the Magpies to make a big profit further down the line. Liverpool<\/a> could throw in a bonus by not including a sell-on clause, meaning every penny from a future sale would go to Newcastle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if this would be enough to convince Newcastle<\/a> to part ways with Isak, but Liverpool<\/a> have nothing to lose from taking a different approach seeing as their original plan has not worked.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, the Reds could simply bide their time in the hope that Isak’s discontent will lead to Newcastle<\/a> reducing their demands.<\/p>\n

Only time will tell where the striker will be playing his football when the Premier League returns later this month. His future appears to depend on whether Liverpool<\/a> can finally tempt Newcastle<\/a> into cashing in.<\/p>\n
