The transfer offensive of the Liverpool FC does not yet seem to end. The club apparently is planning another top transfer.

The Liverpool FC is still a big shopping tour. After the “Reds” already hired Jeremie Frimpong, DFB star Florian Wirtz (both Bayer Leverkusen) and Milos Kerkez (AFC Bournemouth) for over 200 million euros, the next top transfer followed on Wednesday. From Eintracht Frankfurt, Hugo Ekitiké changes to English champion. Liverpool transfers 95 million euros to the Hesse.

With the French center forward, the club now has another top -class alternative in its offensive series. In the storm center alone, apart from Ekitiké, Darwin Núñez, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah or Luis Díaz can also play, even if the latter may still leave Liverpool FC in the direction of FC Bayern.

Despite the obvious oversupply in the attack, the top English club continues to strive for a star of the national league. The transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports. Alexander Isak remains a transfer goal for Liverpool FC, even after the obligation of Ekitiké.

However, Isak’s Club Newcastle United depends on whether the deal will come about. If the “Magpies” open the door for a finish and sell the Liverpool FC in parallel Díaz, Liverpool could make an offer for the former BVB striker. There were direct contact between the clubs regarding Isak ten days ago, it is said.

According to the British “Daily Mail”, the 25-year-old Swede also announced that he would consider a change this summer. The club management knew that Isak would have the desire to look around for new options, the sheet writes. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi Arabic Association Al-Hilal, which is apparently also interested in the attacker, is said to have not taken any concrete conversations. In addition, FC Chelsea, which was recently also mentioned as a possible prospect, should not actively strive for him.

Isak still has a contract in Newcastle until 2028. Its market value is 120 million euros. Last season the international scored 23 goals in the Premier League, a year earlier it was 21. In 2022 he was moved from the Spanish first division club Real Sociedad to England for 70 million euros. Between January 2017 and summer 2019, Isak was under contract with Borussia Dortmund.
