Liverpool are reportedly now “confident” of completing the signing of a “superb” Premier League player alongside Bayer Leverkusen superstar Florian Wirtz.
On Friday, stunning news emerged that the Reds are believed to be the strong favourites to sign Wirtz this summer, in what would be a club-record piece of business.
Fabrizio Romano was among those to provide a positive update regarding Liverpool’s pursuit of the German, taking to X to say a “formal approach” has been made for him:
Promising to be a stunning summer at Liverpool
In truth, it is hard to imagine Liverpool spending over £100m on both Isak and Wirtz, but it is still an enormously exciting update, highlighting the club’s ambition ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Newcastle striker would be the perfect man to lead the line for the Reds, scoring 23 Premier League goals this season and being hailed by Magpies legend Alan Shearer:
“His runs are superb. If you just watch how clever he is when he doesn’t get the first pass played in, he then goes behind a defender to come back in and bend his run to make sure that he is onside, then he can make a really clever finish.”
Isak stands out as a dream target for Liverpool, proving to be a big upgrade on both Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, but Newcastle will clearly be doing all they can to retain him beyond the summer.
