Liverpool on brink of stunning Alexander Isak BARGAIN

Liverpool are reportedly moving forward on a move for Alexander Isak. And it would be a bargain.

The whole world knows Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak. What we don't all know is exactly how likely that is.

Isak certainly wants to move and that's one part of it. Newcastle United, though, understandably don't want to sell.

But it sounds like Liverpool are making some sort of progress. Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany claims there's an actual agreement with Isak on terms.

Diogo Jota: Thank you

"Understand: Alexander Isak has already reached a verbal agreement in principle with Liverpool over a contract running until 2031," he wrote on Twitter.

But there's a more interesting part of his tweet. One we didn't see coming and that suggests the Reds may be banking a bargain here.

Alexander Isak agrees terms

Plettenberg claims Isak will earn a similar wage to Hugo Ekitike on moving to Anfield. That's a surprise, given Isak's reputation far exceeds that of the Frenchman.

Now, Sky Germany have previously reported that Ekitike will earn around £245k per week at Liverpool. If Isak truly is earning similar, that's drastically down on the £300k per week he's reportedly asking from Newcastle right now (Talksport).

The ultimate transfer fee will not be a cheap one, of course. Liverpool would likely break the British record in order to sign Isak.

But those wages? That's a bargain given Isak's stature in the game. He could easily ask for over £300k and Liverpool would have to listen.

If they can get him on the same salary as Ekitike, it's brilliant business from Richard Hughes and company. There's still a long way to go, of course, but things are looking very positive.

Rest in peace, Diogo Jota.
