Liverpool Set Alexander Isak Transfer Conditions as £60m Bid ‘Stance’ Emerges
Liverpool are reportedly monitoring developments regarding Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and RB Leipzig forward Xavi Simons. Both players have been linked with potential moves, though no formal offers have been made at this stage.
The Reds received a significant boost in their pursuit of the Premier League title following their recent victory over Wolves. Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah secured a 2-1 win at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, keeping Liverpool on course in the title race.
Arne Slot’s team is preparing for a demanding week of league fixtures, with away matches against Aston Villa and Manchester City in quick succession. Holding a seven-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the table, Liverpool could extend their advantage to ten points with a victory at Villa Park in midweek.
Beyond on-field performances, Liverpool continue to be linked with various potential signings ahead of the summer transfer window. The club’s exact transfer plans remain uncertain, though one confirmed addition will be Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is set to return following his loan spell at Valencia.
Newsnow provides an overview of the latest transfer developments and rumours surrounding Liverpool, highlighting key stories that have emerged over the past 24 hours.
Alexander Isak Transfer Update
Liverpool have received an update regarding the future of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. The Reds have been linked with a move for Isak in recent weeks, with speculation intensifying since the January transfer window closed.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, Newcastle are already prepared to accept Isak’s departure in the summer under specific conditions, with a verbal agreement reportedly in place. The Magpies would be willing to let the striker leave if they fail to secure Champions League qualification and if a rival club submits an offer exceeding €100 million (£83.3 million).
Liverpool are named in the report as one of the clubs seeking a new striker, though they are expected to face competition from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona. It is also suggested that the Reds may look to fund a move for Isak through the sale of Luis Díaz, who is reportedly a target for Barcelona this summer.
Xavi Simons Stance
Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons.
According to Football Insider, the Reds have been long-time admirers of Simons, who appears increasingly likely to leave Leipzig this summer. The Netherlands international initially joined the Bundesliga side on loan last summer before making the move permanent in January.
The report suggests that Leipzig could be open to selling Simons at the end of the season if they receive an offer of £60 million. However, Liverpool are expected to face competition from Manchester City and Manchester United, who are also keen on securing his signature.
