‘Liverpool to throw it all on Alexander Isak’ – fans wowed by Fabrizio Romano’s update
Liverpool fans have been left buzzing after a fresh update emerged regarding the club’s pursuit of Newcastle’s star striker Alexander Isak.
The two sides are set to clash in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday (16 March), where the first domestic trophy of the English season will be decided.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe opted to rest Isak in their Premier League fixture against the Reds, citing a groin injury. However, some believe the decision was a tactical move to keep Arne Slot from getting a glimpse of Newcastle’s approach ahead of the final.
Isak has been in sensational form this season, attracting attention from top clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool keen on a blockbuster transfer.
Initially, it was thought that Liverpool might be priced out of a move for Isak, with the Magpies likely to demand a British transfer record fee. However, a recent update has sparked fresh optimism among fans, fuelling excitement over the possibility of securing the Swedish forward’s signature.
Liverpool will be ‘in the mix’ for Alexander Isak as transfer speculation grows
Fabrizio Romano has revealed in his recent video that Liverpool are “closely monitoring” Isak’s situation at Newcastle and will be “in the mix” if the striker becomes available this summer.
Should the Swedish international decide to move on, there will be no shortage of suitors lining up for his signature. Football Insider revealed that Arsenal have identified Isak as their priority summer signing after opting against bringing in a striker during the January transfer window.
However, Newcastle are well-positioned to offer Isak a new contract and will try to convince him of their long-term project under Howe, despite the speculation.
The 25-year-old has been in outstanding form this season, netting 22 goals—including 19 in the Premier League—while also providing five assists.

Liverpool fans eager for Alexander Isak to replace Darwin Nunez
Liverpool’s recent Champions League exit to PSG exposed their lack of a reliable focal point in attack, particularly when Mohamed Salah isn’t at his best.
Slot has rotated between Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz up front this season, but securing an out-and-out striker appears to be a priority.
With Nunez linked with a potential move away in January, the speculation around Isak has excited Liverpool fans. One supporter urged the club to “sell Darwin and make it happen” while another called on them to “go all in” for the Newcastle star.
