Journalist: Liverpool reach Alexander Isak AGREEMENT

Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement as they push to sign Alexander Isak. The striker is their top target this summer.

It's been an open secret that Liverpool hoped to sign Alexander Isak this summer. It was first reported back in January that they were looking at the Swede and links have gathered momentum ever since.

Now things feel like they're getting close. Isak is no longer a part of Newcastle United's pre-season and is pushing for an exit from the club.

Liverpool have made everyone perfectly aware that they're ready to do a deal, presumably for a British-record transfer fee. It's all about convincing both Isak and Newcastle that a deal should happen, though.

And according to one journalist, the former is sealed.

Liverpool agree terms with Alexander Isak

Journalist Florian Plettenberg claims Liverpool have reached an agreement with Alexander Isak. It's 'only' verbal at this stage but the player has given his yes.

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

"Isak wants to make the move to LFC as early as this transfer window. The clubs are in contact. His salary at Liverpool would be similar to that of Hugo Ekitike’s."

Now, it does seem a little strange that Liverpool would pay Isak the same as Ekitike. If only because Isak holds a much, much bigger reputation than Ekitike and would be a larger transfer.

Him asking for the same terms would be a big surprise. But then, we're open to being surprised here.

Fact is, there's still a long way to go with this one as the real 'agreement' to get this one done is with Newcastle. They're the party that isn't sure of the deal and the one Liverpool are struggling to win around.

Until that's sorted, a deal won't happen - even if Isak agrees to play for free. We'll cross our fingers, then, as the next week should be a very interesting one.

Rest in peace, Diogo Jota.
