Liverpool have been very active in the ongoing summer transfer window. The Reds broke their club transfer record when they brought in Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £116.5

Liverpool have already approached Newcastle over signing Isak for around £120million, but were quickly told that the player is not for sale. Isak's push to leave is expected to soften Newcastle's stance, and Howe has confirmed that the situation continues to evolve.

Just because Liverpool could most likely afford Alexander Isak this summer, doesn’t mean they will sign the Newcastle star. After all, they have just recruited an exciting, young centre-forward who shares similar characteristics with the Swede, and a fee of £120–150 million could still dissuade them from pursuing a deal.
