Alexander Isak is now one of the most sought-after players of the summer. While Newcastle is eager to keep their star striker, both Liverpool and Al Hilal are ready to break transfer records to sign him.

Liverpool have been tipped to sell Luis Diaz for £70million after manager Arne Slot left him out of the squad against AC Milan, as the Reds’ decision on Darwin Nunez indicates their plan regarding Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.

Bayern can sit and wait for Liverpool to lower their price, perhaps growing increasingly desperate for cash to fund a move for Isak. In turn, Liverpool have suffered a blow in hopes of receiving their full asking price of £80m and the knock-on effects could spill into the Isak contract stand-off saga.
