As Newcastle United gears up for their preseason tour in Asia, facing the K-League All-Stars and Tottenham, speculation is rife about the future of star striker Alexander Isak. The Swedish international has missed the preseason tour due to injury but is reportedly looking to leave the club, according to The Athletic.

Liverpool’s interest in Isak has been rekindled, despite their earlier statements that he was not for sale. As both sides navigate this uncertain situation, his absence could encourage Liverpool to make a move, especially after signing forward Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.

With Isak’s impressive record of scoring over 20 Premier League goals for two consecutive seasons, he represents a significant potential addition to Liverpool’s attacking lineup. Last season, he played a crucial role in helping Newcastle secure a Champions League spot, scoring 27 goals and providing six assists in all competitions.

As Newcastle continues preparations for their season, they may face difficulties if Isak departs, particularly with William Osula being the only true striker left on the roster. The Magpies must strengthen their forward options, with speculation already linking them to Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig and others as they aim to solidify their squad.

Gaining Isak would significantly enhance Liverpool’s prospects of clinching the Premier League title. The team’s attack could leverage Isak alongside new signings, while the midfield remains robust with players like Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szobozlai ensuring competitive strength moving forward.
