The Echo wrote an article on whether Liverpool will sign Newcastle striker Isaac. The article believes that the possibility of the Reds signing of 120 million Esaac is no longer high.
Isaac has become one of the best strikers in the Premier League, second only to Salah last season, with a total of 23 goals.
Isaac's outstanding performance helped Newcastle return to the Champions League, which also made it more difficult for Liverpool to poach. It is reported that Isaac will negotiate a new contract with Newcastle at the end of August.
Given that Liverpool has spent more than £145 million on Wilz and Flynnon, it will be difficult to make another offer that will attract Newcastle unless there are players for sale.
Isaac is the first choice for most people to lead Liverpool's forward next season, but this also means high costs. This transfer may be difficult to achieve unless the player voluntarily asks to leave.
Isaac has long been Liverpool's target, but as transfer fees may be as high as £100 million or more, it has been considered unlikely.
However, Liverpool will soon sign Wilz for £116 million, changing the situation. Although the Reds need to raise funds by selling players, Fenway Sports Group is now willing to approve such a huge deal.
Isaac, who is close to his 26th birthday, is on the verge of age when Fenway is no longer willing to invest heavily. In fact, any trade may involve player exchanges. Nunes and Chiesa may need to be sold, plus some marginal players as bargaining chips, Newcastle is open to such deals.
Unfortunately, Isaac's transfer is unlikely. Liverpool considered Isaac in 2022, but missed the opportunity at that moment. Newcastle's progress in recent years and its qualifying for the Champions League next season means that Liverpool will only have the opportunity to sign him if Isaac takes the initiative to request a transfer. Even if he really pushes for the transfer, the transfer fee will certainly exceed Wilz's £116 million.
Therefore, a more realistic option is for Liverpool to try to sell Nunes and put money into players outside the Premier League, such as Ekitic.
