Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak was linked to a distance from the club during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool wishes to ensure the services of the Swedish international, but they will face competition from Saudi outfit al-Hilal. Liverpool needs a quality attacker, and Isak could be an upgrade by Darwin Nunez, who only scored seven goals last season.
Al-Hilal wants Alexander Isak
According to a report by The Guardian, al-Hilal is ready to offer him £ 600,000 per week in tax franchise. It will be interesting to see if the 25 -year -old is attracted by the idea of joining the Arab club club. The striker would want a summer move. It will be interesting to see where it will end.
The manager Simone Inzaghi is looking for a quality attacker this summer, and identified the Newcastle star as an option.
Al-Hilal managed to reach the quarter-finals of the FIFA club World Cup earlier this summer, and they are now looking to send a statement by signing one of the best players in Europe and football at the moment.
Isak must stay in Europe
Isak is undoubtedly the best striker in the Premier League, and he deserves to finish the highest level. The move to Saudi Arabia would be quite surprising at this stage of his career. He should try to continue in Europe and play for the biggest clubs in the world. The move to Liverpool would have a lot of meaning for him.
Newcastle is categorical that they do not want to sell their star attacker, and it remains to be seen how the situation is developing.
Meanwhile, Al Hilal belongs to Pif just like Newcastle. It remains to be seen if the Saudi outfit can bring the agreement through the line. It would be a major coup for them if they managed to sign the best attacker in the Premier League this summer.
