Liverpool are now nearing a mega agreement for Alexander Isak.
In another world the Swede would already be playing for the Reds. If it would not have been for Newcastle's incompetence in the transfer market this summer, Isak would be lining up for Liverpool.

But of course, the Reds have also had the chance to sign him in the past. Notably in 2022 the recruitment team pushed to bring him in over Darwin Nunez, but in the end the Uruguayan was chosen.
Before that, Liverpool had followed Isak's career closely at AIK and wanted to sign him but he chose Borussia Dortmund.
So this pursuit continues. Though at last it seems like it's finally coming to an end. Liverpool are getting closer and closer to getting their man.
A report from Spain backs this up.
According to AS reporter Eduardo Burgos on X, Newcastle are anticipating a mega second bid worth £130m from Liverpool.
In his report he claims that an 'agreement will be reached for €150 million (£130 million)' which is exactly the bid that they are expecting from the Reds.
In the report, it's also added that Liverpool are confident that the deal will go through.
So based on that, it seems like Isak is closing in on a move to Liverpool and the agreement between the two parties is not very far away now.
And what a deal this would be. £130m is an incredible amount to pay for one player. It's going to be the British transfer record, surpassing Enzo Fernandez's and Moises Caicedo's transfer to Chelsea.
