Potential Liverpool striker REFUSES to play until transfer happens | OneFootball

One of Liverpool's potential summer signings has made a bold decision. He refuses to play for his current club until a transfer happens.

Liverpool are in the market for a new striker but it's not an easy one. Their principle target, Alexander Isak, might literally be unobtainable.

Newcastle United are in no mood to sell their star asset. There's an 'asking price' of around £150m but the Magpies would probably reject such an offer right now.

Ultimately, they're not sure if they want to sell at all. Qualifying for the UEFA Champions League gave them the money and position to keep Isak, if they want.

And that leaves Liverpool considering other options. Hugo Ekitike is on that list, as is Benjamin Sesko. Joao Pedro was supposedly on there with him, but it appears he'll now join Chelsea.

Then there's Viktor Gyokeres. - and it's taken a very interesting turn.

Viktor Gyokeres is fuming

Fabrizio Romano and Record report that Gyokeres does not want to play for Sporting CP again. This comes after quotes from Sporting president, Frederico Varandas, who suggested they might not sell the Swede after all.

Gyokeres, however, feels he was promised an exit last summer. Sporting see the kinds of prices being thrown around, though (primarily by Manchester United, we should say) and believe their star player should be going for an absolute fortune.
