Liverpool contacts Newcastle United

It is reported that Liverpool has expressed interest in signing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this summer as Liverpool is actively looking for a new No. 9 player.

As uncertainty about Darwin Nunes' future continues to exist at Liverpool, Premier League defending champion Liverpool needs to find a new center, and Napoli is one of the teams interested in signing the Uruguayan international Nunes this summer.

On Tuesday local time, Liverpool also rejected Bayern Munich's signing striker Louis Diaz for £67.5 million (€78.5 million). Liverpool has not submitted a formal transfer fee offer for Isaac, but they have begun to approach Newcastle United to assess the possibility of Isaac's transfer, just as they have done with other forward targets.

So far, Newcastle United's position is that they are unwilling to let the Swedish international leave the team this summer, scoring 62 goals in 102 games for Newcastle United.

Liverpool have broken their transfer record this summer, signing Leverkusen's midfield and frontcourt organizer Florian Wirtz, a transfer fee that could hit a Premier League record of £116 million. Newcastle United may need more time to assess the feasibility of Isaac's transfer departure this summer.

Earlier, Newcastle United was reaching an agreement to sign Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitic, hoping that the French striker can play side by side with Isaac on the front line.

Liverpool also likes this player Ekitic, but it is understood that Liverpool still cannot believe that the 23-year-old player can achieve the rhythm of the Premier League well. Newcastle United will make a transfer fee offer to Frankfurt in the next few days.
