Isak pushing for Liverpool move as Newcastle prepare for talksLiverpool’s interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has intensified after it emerged the Sweden international wants to

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has claimed that Alexander Isak will only leave Newcastle to sign for the Reds, with Luis Diaz edging closer to a move to Germany

Isak, who has emerged as a priority target, has made clear his intention to remain at the top level of European football. Despite interest from Saudi Arabian clubs and a lucrative proposal worth a reported £600,000 per week, the Swedish international has set his sights on a switch to Merseyside.

As Newcastle United prepare for a preseason tour in Asia, where they'll face the K-League All-Stars and Tottenham, they may also need to begin to prepare for life without their star striker, Alexander Isak.

If any club has the funds to pull off this deal, it is Al Hilal. Not only are they one of the four clubs owned by Saudi Arabia’s Private Investment Fund (PIF), but they also benefit from the support of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who can help underwrite exceptional deals such as this one.

Alexander Isak has been linked with a summer switch to Liverpool after informing Newcastle United of his desire to leave.

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is 'waiting on permission to travel' to complete a move to Bayern Munich as a total package is set, according to reports.
