Fabrizio Romano has reiterated that Liverpool are still interested in Alexander Isak ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Merseysiders appear to be in increasing need of offensive reinforcements at the end of the season ahead of the expected departure of Darwin Nunez.
“My expectation is for Darwin Nunez to leave the club in the summer window,” the Italian transfer news expert spoke on his eponymous YouTube channel.
“He was close to Al-Nassr in January. Let’s see with Saudi or any other European club in the summer.”
The Uruguayan international has struggled to adapt to Arne Slot’s demands in 2024/25, finding both minutes and goal contributions harder to come by.
A disappointing 2-1 Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle on Sunday certainly did little to dispel the notion that Liverpool are in need of reinforcements to offload some of the goal burden from top scorer Mo Salah.
Liverpool have made contact with Alexander Isak’s entourage

“Liverpool are also there for Alexander Isak. [They] already made some contact with people close to the player,” Romano went on to add.
“Both clubs are interested in Alexander Isak. For Arsenal, he is the absolute top target; for Liverpool, he’s one of the names they are considering in that position.
“We will see what Newcastle want to do because they keep insisting on their position: keep the player, continue with the player. But, we know when there is important money on the table, sometimes it’s also about the Financial Fair Play and all these sort of things.”
Slot will have had quite a good look at the Sweden international by this point, having witnessed the 25-year-old score twice against the Reds in our last three meetings.
A lead-doubling goal against us at Wembley Stadium, for the record, took the Newcastle man’s tally up to 28 goal contributions (23 goals and five assists) in 33 games (across all competitions) this term.
How much is Isak worth?
Football Transfers’ unique valuation system estimates Isak’s value to be in the region of €76.4m [£64.27m].
