Fabrizio Romano confirms GREEN light for Liverpool to sign Alexander Isak

Liverpool aware of Alexander Isak's wishes to leave Newcastle and it is a genuine possibility that the club could make another formal approach for him, despite his extraordinary transfer cost.

He's been the Reds' main transfer target all summer and the chance to sign him is too good to ignore.

So while a lot of fans might have considered Liverpool's striker hunt to be over since Hugo Ekitike has been signed for £79m, a record shattering move for Isak remains very much on the cards.

And while we can all point to Liverpool as the main suitors for him, whether Isak actually wants to move to Merseyside was in doubt up until now, but his intentions have now been formally revealed.

Isak's priority is Liverpool

According to Fabrizio Romano, who initially broke the news that Liverpool were still interested in Isak, despite the Ekitike transfer, personal terms with the Swedish striker are unlikely to be an issue.

He said: "Once again: Alexander Isak wants Liverpool, it's his priority as reported.

"No talks with Al Hilal, Chelsea or Manchester United."

So while it felt unlikely that anyone else really had a chance of signing Isak, it's now been confirmed that no one else has approached the player or Newcastle since his intention to leave was announced.

That is an enormous piece of information that we previously didn't know. The player remaining a target for Liverpool was one thing, but for the interest to be reciprocated is massive for our chances.

In his latest Youtube video, Craig Hope of the Daily Mail talks gave his thoughts on the situation.

He said: "Do I think he [Isak] will go? Yes I think he probably will. A lot still needs to happen for that to be the case but my latest information is that Alexander Isak wants to go, Liverpool want him, they are readying a British transfer record offer - even though that might involve selling one of [Luis] Diaz or [Darwin] Nunez - [and] if that is the case, Newcastle will have a decision to make.

"They would rather not sell, they want to find a way to keep the player. But it might just make sense all-round to do the deal."

As such, everything is pointing to the Reds securing both their first and second choice striker targets this summer, which would certainly help to bolster the club's Premier League winning attack.
