After Liverpool De Hoop to sign Alexander Isak recently beat, the MerseSiders got a boost from a player who made an impression on Thiago Alcantara
Liverpool is about to graduate from the Tyler Morton academy to Lyon, which will increase their hope for signing Alexander Isak. The Reds spent more than £ 300 million this summer, but Newcastle United has recently rejected an £ 120 million offer.

The winners of the League Cup made a formal bid for the RB Leipzig Forward, which is supposed to be around £ 70 million. The 22-year-old Slovenian is also closely monitored by Manchester United, who are trying to sign a new center-forward throughout the summer.
Howe has been determined so far about the status of Isak at Newcastle, but the former Bournemouth manager has admitted that it is outside of his control. In commentary on the recent offer from Liverpool for him, Howe said: “I was informed of an offer yesterday (Friday) and that bid was rejected, all before I even heard about it.
“People back in England are dealing with the situation. I don't know what happens next. From our perspective we still support Alex in every possible way and my wish is that we see him again in a Newcastle shirt.”
