@FabrizioRomano🚨💣 Understand Alexander Isak remains a target for Liverpool even after signing Ekitike… but depends on Newcastle.
If Newcastle open doors to an exit and #LFC sell Diaz, they can bid after direct contact made 10 days ago.
Isak, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 in concrete talks with Al Hilal so far.
https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1948346962413031699 It makes a lot of sense if Liverpool goes for Alexander Isak. Ekitike may not immediately hit the ground running. He may struggle, hence, having someone like Isak who's already established in the EPL will be the right move.
Initially, Newcastle United reported that Isak was left out of the preseason squad because of a minor injury he suffered, but it looks like he told the club he wants to leave, and that's why he wasn't included. Immediately after the news of his absence from the preseason squad, it was also reported by multiple sources that he has told the club he wants to leave. Let's see how everything unfolds, but I hope Newcastle United doesn't stand in his way.
