I think Liverpool doesn’t have any backup plans for now, because they know Isak is going to leave for Liverpool. And I see Isak leaving for Liverpool.
I have also heard that Liverpool is ready to break the transfer record for Isak. According to TBR Football, Liverpool is preparing a proposal of more than £130 million to acquire Alexander Isak, with the total package potentially reaching £140 million if additional bonuses are included. Newcastle United is insisting on not letting go of the Swedish striker unless a club is willing to meet the £150 million valuation. If this is true, then Liverpool is being ruthless. They have just spent a significant amount on Writz. The Premier League has been underway for two weeks, but Isak's desire to leave is very strong. In fact, he hasn't even played in his new season for Newcastle yet. It is reported that he has already contacted Newcastle's management, but they are still reluctant to let him go.
