Now we are seeing those plans unfold. Already Liverpool have made a host of signings, including Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, who will give much needed firepower upfront.

But the main target in attack remains Alexander Isak. He is the player Liverpool are desperate to sign and it's inevitable that this deal is going to happen.

There is nothing Newcastle can do to stop it. The player has made his choice.

Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool is inevitable

Isak has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool and he has made his thoughts clear about what it's like to play at Anfield as well.

From the moment he arrived in the Premier League, Isak has been destined to play for the Reds. He made his mark by scoring against Liverpool on his debut in a 2-1 defeat at Anfield.

Since then, he has made four goal contributions in five games against Liverpool, always standing out against the Reds. Most notably at Anfield where he has a 100% record when it comes to goal-scoring, netting in both of his two previous appearances so far.

Any other year and signing someone like Isak who is by far and away the best striker in the Premier League would be out of the question for Liverpool.

But this time around it's different. Liverpool have not spent a lot of money over the last couple of seasons. Even though they clearly had the funds, just take the Moises Caicedo bid as an example. They have been waiting for this moment, this summer, to pull the trigger.

Newcastle won't let him go on the cheap. He has a contract until 2028 and Liverpool will have to pay a handsome fee to get him.

But Newcastle, unlike Liverpool have a limited budget due to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Therefore, a big sale might be a smart option for them.

Selling Isak for a lot of money allows Newcastle to invest that money all over the squad and become stronger as a result. The truth is Newcastle are not at the level where they can expect to keep a hold of their best players.

They need to continue to build the team and with the new PSR rules that means sometimes they have to sell before they can buy.

Sometimes, they even have to sell their best players, it's simply inevitable.

Isak won't be at the club forever and moving to Anfield now is the perfect next destination.

Under Slot, the Swedish international could form a special partnership with the likes of Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Mohamed Salah.

Newcastle can't prolong the inevitable for much longer. It seems like they are resigned to losing him anyway, with Isak now training on his own rather than with his teammates as per Givemesport. This latest update pretty much confirms that his move away from the club is inevitable.

The fact that they are separating him from the rest of the group signals an acceptance from Newcastle's part that Isak will no longer be part of the team.

Liverpool have also pursued Isak for a long time now. They wanted him when he was a teenager in Sweden. The recruitment team wanted him while at Real Sociedad.
