Liverpool line up late window swoop for Alexander Isak amid Newcastle unrest

Liverpool’s pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is far from over, with the Premier League champions ready to push hard in the final week of the transfer window.

The Reds have already seen a £120 million bid rejected, but reports from Caught Offside suggest they are preparing a fresh approach. This time, Liverpool could include Federico Chiesa in a swap deal to tempt Newcastle into finally parting ways with their star forward.

Isak’s Newcastle Exit Appears Inevitable

Isak has been training separately from the rest of Eddie Howe’s squad, signalling his determination to secure a move away from St James’ Park. Both the player and the club have released statements on the situation, highlighting the growing rift between them.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are already weighing up replacements. Brentford’s Yoane Wissa has been on their radar, and while he has resumed training with the Bees, he remains available before the deadline.

Liverpool’s Advantage Growing

With Isak’s relationship with Newcastle appearing beyond repair, Liverpool sense an opportunity. Arne Slot has made it clear he wants another top-class attacker, and Isak is considered the priority target.

However, there is still uncertainty over whether Newcastle would accept Chiesa as part of the deal, or insist on a full cash offer closer to their valuation. What’s clear is that the Magpies will not be bullied into selling cheaply, even with the player’s stance.

Decision Time After Monday’s Clash

For now, both clubs are focused on their upcoming Premier League meeting on Monday night. Once that fixture is out of the way, talks are expected to accelerate.

If Liverpool can find the right formula, Alexander Isak could be wearing red before the window closes — a move that would dramatically reshape their attacking options for the season ahead.
