The Merseyside club tabled an initial offer worth £110m for Isak which was duly rejected by Newcastle as they value the 25-year-old for £150m ($200m). However, amidst the transfer saga around Isak, former Liverpool defender and pundit Jamie Carragher is not sure about the club's pursuit of the Newcastle United striker.

According to widespread reports, Liverpool have reached an agreement to sell striker Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal, who had made the Uruguayan their ‘priority’ target after missing out on Victor Osimhen, who made his loan move to Galatasaray permanent.

Liverpool have been told a deal for Alexander Isak is OFF until Newcastle land a replacement, and they have five striker options under consideration after missing out on Benjamin Sesko.
