Isak was left out of Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia, fueling speculation over a potential move, with Liverpool closely monitoring developments.
Despite signing Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool still view Isak as a dream target, but his £150m price tag raises eyebrows.
According to The Independent, clubs admire Isak’s elite quality but question his durability over a demanding European football calendar.
Isak has been outstanding since joining Newcastle in 2022, showing world-class finishing, pace, and creativity in front of goal.
However, concerns linger. Isak has missed 39 matches for club and country across the last three seasons due to recurring injuries.
Paying a British transfer record for a player with that history makes several clubs hesitant despite his undeniable talent, reports TBR.
Newcastle reportedly want top dollar, but suitors are questioning whether they’d be getting long-term value for such a huge investment.
Liverpool believe managing his minutes alongside Ekitike could minimize injury risk and justify the high fee for the Swedish striker.
The Reds continue evaluating their options as the market heats up, and Isak’s future remains one of the biggest stories.
