Alexander Isak has attracted the No. 14 in Newcastle and is considering a move, but that number is occupied in Liverpool – unless the documents fall into place to become vacant
Alexander Isak is strongly connected to a summer switch to Liverpool, but the Newcastle star would currently not be able to take the NO 14 shirt, since it is already occupied -at least for the time being.
Federico Chiesa was the only signed Arne Slot that was made last summer, although the Italian had difficulty having an impact on Anfield and has been omitted from their tour for the season. He was a signing of £ 10 million from Juventus, but was now able to return to Italy.
Atalanta loves the Italian, who would free up the No. 14 for Isak if he made the switch to Liverpool. However, the Serie A -side must first sell breathola lookman to Inter Milan before they can complete a deal for Chiesa, according to reports.
There has been speculation that the Reds-Flop could return to his native Italy for months and Atalanta is ready to save the 27-year-old from his scorching spell in England. The Bergamo outfit is ready to make a movement for Chiesa according to Football Italia, but only when they have confirmed the Exit of Lookman.
Inter wants to add the Engelsman, who scored 20 goals, while rebuilding their team in the aftermath of the Exit of Simone Inzaghi. Atalanta demands at least £ 43 million before they have the wing player we for a new one.
If that movement does not come out, ISAK must be aware of the No. 9, which is currently being held by Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan has seen a possible route to an exit after Napoli has been pulled out of a deal, but he is expected to put an end to his three seasons on Merseyside – of which two have been in the No 9 shirt – in the coming weeks.
The Newcastle Ace has spent the past three years in St James' Park and just enjoyed his best season so far. He enjoyed a series of matches where he scored in eight games on the bouncer, one of which was against Liverpool.
He has three years to walk his contract in Newcastle, but has told the club that he wants to explore a move from the club that has set the Reds Alert. Hugo Ekitike recently joined Frankfurt, but Slot still weighs whether he wants to chase the Swedish star.
Newcastle has to lose one of their key figures, because their Saudi owners came on board, but their ambitions can now be hit as Isak pushes to the starting door. Skipper Bruno Guimaraes admitted that the player went through “some rough things”, but insisted that he hoped that the player would return for the club prior to the new Premier League season.
