Liverpool Are Plotting Big Money Move For Newcastle United Star: How Should The Magpies Deal With This? | OneFootball

Liverpool have been busy revamping their attacking department this summer transfer window. Arne Slot has identified Alexander Isak as a primary target, and the club have already made an offer in this direction, which was rejected by Newcastle United. However, according to Daveokop Liverpool have shown no signs of giving up on the process and are preparing for the next offer.

Names like Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz have already been linked to Liverpool, with Wirtz being roped in to fill the void of Diogo Jota. On the other hand, Luis Diaz has now joined Bayern Munich, and Darwin Nunez has moved to Al-Hilal, which has earned Liverpool a huge amount of money.

These sales have allowed Liverpool to invest more, and bringing Isak in has become crucial for them. The 26-year-old has made it clear that he does not want to play for Newcastle United anymore, which has made the situation difficult for the Magpies. Liverpool want to get the deal done as quickly as possible so that they can then bring in a top-level winger. Rodrygo Goes is top of the list, although Arsenal and Manchester City are also interested in the same player.

How should Newcastle United deal with this?

The question now is how Newcastle United should deal with this challenge. On the one hand, they already have the pressure to maintain a top-four finish in the Premier League and stay in the Champions League. If the Swedish striker leaves, their goalscoring ability will be directly affected.

There are two options for them to choose from. The first is to spend a large portion of the money from the sale on a new striker immediately to keep the momentum going. The second is to adapt their system to allow players like Anthony Gordon to perform as the main striker.

The right approach is probably a mix of both. The Magpies should look for an immediate replacement, but also have faith in their current squad. If Newcastle handle this situation wisely, they will not only fill the void of Isac but also strengthen their future. In our opinion, they should not make a hasty deal but choose a striker who can become the identity of the club for a long time.
