Liverpool are currently \u2018focusing on three concrete options\u2019 in their search for a new striker, including Alexander Isak, who waits for Newcastle to make good on their \u2018promise\u2019.<\/p>\n
The Reds are comfortably this summer\u2019s biggest spenders<\/strong><\/a>, with nearly \u00a3200m invested to so far to sign Armin Pecsi, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Freddie Woodman, with more moves expected from sporting director Richard Hughes to bolster Arne Slot\u2019s title-winning squad.<\/p>\n They want to sign Marc Guehi to replace Jarell Quansah, who\u2019s joined Bayer Leverkusen, but have no intention of paying Crystal Palace\u2019s \u00a350m asking price<\/a><\/strong>, and may need to sign another centre-back amid reports the Reds will \u2018reluctantly\u00a0accept offers between \u00a340-50m\u2019 for Ibrahima Konate this summer<\/a><\/strong>, who otherwise intends to run down his contract and leave for nothing at the end of next season.<\/p>\n The Reds are also keen on signing a striker, assuming Darwin Nunez leaves the club amid interest from Napoli, who have reportedly given themselves \u201948 hours to decide\u2019 whether to meet Liverpool\u2019s demands<\/a><\/strong>, which are thought to be around \u00a355m, or at least make an opening bid in the hope of coming to an agreement.<\/p>\n Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenburg has revealed which three strikers Liverpool have \u2018conducted thorough checks on\u2019 as they look for Nunez\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n He wrote on X: \u2018Liverpool are currently focusing on three concrete options in their search for a new number 9: Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak, and Victor Osimhen. #LFC have conducted thorough checks and gathered information on all of them.<\/p>\n \u2018Ekitike, for example, is very high on the list. The French striker knows that if he moves to Liverpool, he will need to be patient because the club must sell players first.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> It\u2019s been widely reported that Isak is Slot\u2019s \u2018dream\u2019 striker and that Liverpool are prepared to break both their wage structure and transfer record to land the Sweden international.<\/p>\n And journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has now revealed that Isak is waiting on Newcastle to make good on their \u201cpromise\u201d from the end of last season of allowing him to \u201clook at other options\u201d after he told them he would \u201clike to leave\u201d.<\/p>\n Di Marzio told Ace Odds: \u201cI think Liverpool want Alexander Isak and Victor Osimhen too.<\/p>\n \u201cFor Isak it depends on Newcastle, because the player talked to the coach and the club at the end of the season because he would like to leave but Newcastle are not open to that, at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it depends on Newcastle and Isak\u2019s discussion, if the club will be open to having him on the market. Newcastle is a tough club and they want to keep their best players for next season, including Sandro Tonali.<\/p>\n \u201cAlexander Isak would like to look at other options because at the end of this season, he had the promise from the club and the coach but Newcastle haven\u2019t acted seriously on that yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are currently \u2018focusing on three concrete options\u2019 in their search for a new striker, including Alexander Isak,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":28597,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[3678,204,215,16863,50,221,62,9656,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-28596","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-alexander-isak","9":"tag-front-page","10":"tag-liverpool","11":"tag-newcastle-united","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uncategorized","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114775393877382683","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
