Ipswich Town Star Could Be £150M-Rated Replacement for Newcastle Amid Liverpool, PSG Interest | OneFootball

The winter transfer window has closed, and for now, Alexander Isak is staying with Newcastle United. While there wasn’t much speculation about a move in January, reports suggest several clubs, including PSG, could make another push this summer.

RMC Sport previously reported that PSG was willing to offer Gonçalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, and Marco Asensio in a swap deal to bring Isak to Paris.

Liverpool has also been linked to the Swedish striker. According to Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the club had already opened talks with his representatives. The Reds were reportedly preparing a major bid and willing to break from their usual transfer strategy to sign the 25-year-old forward.

Newcastle is said to have set Isak’s price at €180 million (£150 million), which would make him Liverpool’s record signing, surpassing the £85 million they paid for Darwin Nunez in 2022.

TEAMtalk reports, citing sources, that Newcastle United are desperate to retain Isak but are keeping a close eye on several strikers as Liverpool ramp up its interest in the Swede.

Moreover, the reports that the Reds have made Isak their ‘top target’ for the summer transfer window amid the uncertainty surrounding Darwin Nunez, who could leave Anfield.

Eddie Howe’s squad is considering backup options in case Isak leaves this summer. TEAMtalk reports that Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap is on their radar. Liverpool are also interested, viewing him as a potential replacement for Nunez.
