Liverpool are determined to secure a new attacking force as they prepare to replace Darwin Nunez at the season’s end.
Moreover, the Reds have already pinpointed potential targets to strengthen their offensive line.
Previously, the club was linked with Brighton attacker Joao Pedro as a natural successor to the Uruguayan striker at Anfield. In addition, this move was seen as a direct solution to maintain Liverpool’s attacking threat.
As the season draws to a close, Liverpool continue to explore their options in the transfer market. Consequently, they remain committed to bolstering their attack while keeping their strategies flexible.
According to sources, Liverpool have expressed keen interest in Newcastle United attacker Alexander Isak. Notably, the Swedish international has scored 17 Premier League goals and provided 5 assists this season. Additionally, he netted 2 goals in the Carabao Cup, helping his team reach the final.

Moreover, Isak’s impressive performance has caught the attention of several elite clubs. PSG, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Arsenal are reportedly monitoring his progress as they seek to enhance their offensive capabilities.
However, the potential transfer faces significant challenges. Eddie Howe’s side plan to extend Isak’s contract until 2030/2031 while offering him a salary increase, which complicates any immediate move.
Therefore, Liverpool would have to break their transfer record to secure Isak’s services. Sources suggest that Newcastle might entertain offers between €150 million and €170 million if he does not extend his contract.
As a result, the Reds are also considering more affordable alternatives. Marcus Thuram from Inter Milan is now being linked to Anfield as a replacement for the struggling Nunez, and defensive reinforcements like Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven are also on the radar.
