Looks like Isak is happening. Wont rule it out as the rumors isnt dying down and NewCastle havenât publicly said he isnât for sale. Think same amount as Wirtz could clinch the deal.
Would be very very strange from a Newcastle perspective. They have absolutely no reason to sell, and it appears theyâre struggling to get value in the market for players they want to buy - other teams are happy to rinse them for Saudi money. If they sold Isak to us, theyâd struggle to replace his output for the kind of money weâd be willing to pay. Maybe theyâd go for Osimhen? I dunno.
I donât see Isak happening unless he puts in a request.
Newcastle have failed in all their targets (for frontline) so selling Isak doesnât make sense - unless he throw toys out of pram and hands in request but even then they can reject because they cant get anyone else in.
Injury is what concerns me to be honest. I would go for Ekitike as well but I read somewhere most of his injuries were Groin injuries and he has been managing it very well with the help of Medical staff.
What appears to have kicked off this morningâs âItâs happeningâ freak out was a SM post of a guy saying his friend waited on him in a restaurant in Croatia (I think) and Isak responded that he didnt want to talk about it when pressed about moving to Liverpool.
The rumours to date have suggested he wants the move, so I donât think this would be a problem. I think the bigger issue is Newcastle agreeing to sell him (having said they wont) and the fee being something Liverpool will be willing to pay.
Newcastle want ridiculous money and Isak still has three years on his deal. Add in Newcastle missing out on Pedro theyâre going to be even more determined to hold onto him.
And ultimately Isak has given no signs he really wants out.
