INSANE transfer chain ends with Alexander Isak joining Liverpool | OneFootball

An absolutely ridiculous transfer chain should end with Alexander Isak joining Liverpool. Watch this space.

Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak. The player, too, wants to head to Anfield but Newcastle United are really hoping to win this transfer battle.

They don't want to lose their star player, even if the Reds are willing to put up a record-breaking amount of money. Isak is essentially irreplaceable and no amount of money will improve on him.

But when a player pushes like this, it's incredibly difficult to hold onto him. Especially when he's threatening to never play for the team again.

Newcastle will feel all the pressure imaginable to sell - though, there's one reason a deal simply can't go through yet. While the Magpies won't replace Isak with a player of similar quality, they still need a striker.

Callum Wilson also left Newcastle this summer, after all, leaving them particularly short. But perhaps that will soon change.

Ben Jacobs reports that Bournemouth are now closing in on a deal for Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen. So what does that have to do with Isak and Liverpool?

Well, if that goes through, Brentford can sign the Cherries’ Dango Outtara. Again, that doesn’t appear to have too much to do with Liverpool but that one would allow for Yoane Wissa to sign for Newcastle.

With that, the Magpies would have a striker to actually play for them. Losing Isak is suddenly a lot more palatable - potentially enough for a deal to actually go through.
