As the summer 2025 transfer window heats up, Liverpool FC have identified Newcastle United’s Swedish striker Alexander Isak as their primary target for the striker position. On July 15, 2025, reports confirmed that Liverpool have made a club-to-club approach to explore a potential record-breaking deal for the 25-year-old, signaling their ambition to bolster their attack for the upcoming season under head coach Arne Slot.
Liverpool’s interest in Isak is driven by their desire to sign a marquee forward, with the Swedish international emerging as their top choice. While discussions remain in the early stages, the Premier League champions are prepared to surpass their transfer record to secure his signature, provided Newcastle are open to negotiations. However, Newcastle have consistently maintained that Isak, who scored 21 goals in all competitions last season, is integral to their long-term vision and are reportedly planning to offer him a new contract to deter interest.
Isak’s technical prowess, fluid movement, and clinical finishing align seamlessly with Slot’s attacking philosophy, making him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s system. Since joining Newcastle from Real Sociedad for £63 million in 2022, Isak has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic forwards, with 62 goals in 109 appearances for the Magpies.
Should Newcastle hold firm on their stance, Liverpool have identified Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitiké as a potential alternative. The 23-year-old former PSG striker offers a younger, more cost-effective option, but Isak remains the priority. The ball is now in Newcastle’s court as Liverpool await a response to their ambitious approach.
