Liverpool boss Slot coy on Alexander Isak interest | OneFootball

Arne Slot has said he does not want to talk about players of other clubs when asked about Liverpool’s interest in Newcastle forward Alexander Isak.

Liverpool have had an opening offer of around £110m turned down for Isak and are weighing up a new approach.

The Reds are reportedly prepared to break the British transfer record for the Swedish striker, who scored 23 goals in the Premier League last season.

Newcastle are assessing potential replacements for the 25-year-old, but have suffered frustration in pursuit of the Manchester United-bound Benjamin Sesko. Isak is currently training alone as he pushes for an exit.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Community Shield, Slot refused to discuss a potential move for Isak. He did, however, confirm that Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez ‘might leave’ after an agreement was reached with Saudi side Al-Hilal.

“These are a lot of questions I do not want. You never talk about players that are not yours so I can talk to you about Hugo [Ekitike] who we have signed recently and has done really well until now,” Slot said at his pre-match press conference.

“We are very happy with the squad we are having and there is every reason to be happy because we won the league last season. Ok, players left but we have brought players in as well and the youngsters doing well.

“At this moment in time, Darwin might leave but things are not signed yet so we need to wait a few days until that maybe is completely done but there is a chance he could leave.”
