Alexander Isak’s Future at Newcastle
According to football finance expert Stefan Borson, Alexander Isak is most likely to stay at Newcastle United this summer, despite significant interest from Liverpool. This comes amid a complex transfer saga that could see Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez moving to a PIF-owned club in the Saudi Pro League, potentially freeing up funds for Liverpool to pursue Isak.
The Nunez-Isak Connection
Borson highlighted the intriguing possibility of Liverpool receiving a substantial fee for Nunez from a Saudi club, which could then be used to bid for Isak. However, he also pointed out the potential scrutiny such a deal might face, given the connections between the clubs involved.
Liverpool’s Alternative: Hugo Ekitike
In addition to Isak, Liverpool are reportedly in talks to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. Ekitike’s impressive performance last season, with 22 goals and 11 assists, makes him a viable alternative for Liverpool, especially if a deal for Isak proves too complicated.
