Liverpool are preparing to launch a second offensive to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United after their opening bid was rejected, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Reds have already brought in Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike this summer<\/strong><\/a> as the Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> board put their full weight behind Arne Slot, who won the Premier League title in his first season.<\/p>\n After selling Luis Diaz for around \u00a365.5m to Bayern Munich earlier this week, Liverpool have now turned their attention to pursuing a deal for Newcastle striker Isak.<\/p>\n Widespread reports revealed recently that the Sweden international has told the Newcastle hierarchy that he wants to leave St James\u2019 Park this summer for Anfield.<\/p>\n And The Athletic\u2018s David Ornstein revealed earlier on Friday<\/strong><\/a> that a first official bid from Liverpool had been rejected by the Magpies with the offer worth around \u00a3120m plus add-ons.<\/p>\n But now\u00a0DaveOCKOP.com have revealed that<\/a> Liverpool are \u2018preparing a second Isak bid\u2019 with the Reds \u2018not waiting around to secure the signing\u2019.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd score highly, Newcastle slammed in 25\/26 Premier League away and third kit rankings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Liverpool \u2018are undeterred and are actively working on enhanced terms that could smash the British transfer record for the second time this summer\u2019.<\/p>\n The Premier League champions \u2018will make a new offer of\u00a0\u00a380 million upfront, with a second bid expected to reach Newcastle today\u2019<\/p>\n DaveOCKOP adds: \u2018The second installment will be\u00a0\u00a350 million next year, plus\u00a0\u00a310 million\u00a0for a total of\u00a0\u00a3140 million. Liverpool wants to reach an agreement on \u00a3140 million as soon as possible.\u2019<\/p>\n Former England international Stuart Pearce reckons Liverpool will win the Premier League title if they manage to get a deal for Isak over the line.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Pearce told ChronicleLive: \u201cThe title is over if Liverpool get Isak, yes. They\u2019ve ended up investing in what they\u2019ve got and bring him and his goals through the door to add to Salah would be incredible.<\/p>\n \u201cI think if a deal does get hashed with Newcastle. I think maybe Nunez going in the opposite direction to Newcastle might be the way that make Newcastle better off. In my opinion, Nunez might be the one full of energy. He might just be the one that the new Newcastle fans take to.<\/p>\n \u201cHe creates chances for himself, for sure. He\u2019s just been a little bit wasteful over time. If he gets that right, all of a sudden he\u2019ll be a very effective replacement for Isak.<\/p>\n \u201cSo if I was Newcastle, I would say, \u2018look, if at the end of the day we\u2019re going to lose Isak, send Nunez to us and then we\u2019ll have a bash with him\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ve played at Newcastle, they just love their own players up there, especially the forwards, don\u2019t they? You know, I can see, you\u2019ve seen Nunez, he goes in, he misses a chance, he misses another one, but he keeps going.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s unshakable in that respect. And you think that\u2019s a great trait to have as a striker. It\u2019s the ones that pull their neck in and don\u2019t get into missing chances. So I think I could see him playing for Newcastle, I really could, if they needed a replacement.\u201d<\/p>\n
