Darwin Nunez could depart too as Liverpool attempt to sign Alexander Isak – and the Uruguay international has responded in fascinating fashion amidst this saga. Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail has been present in Tokyo as Liverpool prepare to play Yokohama F. Marinos on Wednesday, and the South American striker caught his eye.

Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak is not alone in feeling disillusioned with the club’s current trajectory. Reports have emerged suggesting that several members of the squad are losing faith in the club’s supposedly ambitious plans,

Ashy agrees: "Alexander Isak is a Newcastle player and will remain a Newcastle player for the full coming season. Isak has not put in a transfer request so therefore he is a committed player for the Toon. Any player wishing to leave NUFC needs to inform the club at the beginning of the transfer window."

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.

Isak helped Newcastle United return to Champions League play and win the EFL Cup while scoring 27 goals and assisting six more in all competitions last season, and that would be a massive addition anywhere that he would potentially land if he does leave the club.

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has reportedly agreed personal terms to join Liverpool this summer. The 25-year-old is understood to have has informed the Magpies that he wants to leave this summer and he has not travelled to Asia with his teammates for the club's pre-season tour.

A journalist has a “sneaky feeling” on the outcome of the Alexander Isak saga as Liverpool are pursuing his signature for two key reasons. Liverpool have already made a significant statement in this summer’s transfer window as they have invested around £260m on six signings.
