Fabrizio Romano fully confirms a Liverpool summer transfer story that could put pressure on Arteta.

Liverpool’s pursuit of a new striker is gaining momentum, with Alexander Isak remaining a key target for the club.

According to Fabrizio Romano’s latest YouTube update, Isak is Liverpool’s main priority, putting Arsenal—who have long admired the Swedish striker—on high alert. Mikel Arteta sees Isak as a crucial addition, but Newcastle United have made it clear they consider him untouchable and have no intention of selling.

Romano suggests that any deal for Isak would require an offer exceeding €70-90 million to persuade Newcastle. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are ready to enter the bidding war, with the Reds eyeing him as a replacement for Darwin Nunez, who is expected to leave this summer.

For Arsenal, Isak is more than just a target—he’s an obsession, according to Romano. He reiterated that while Arsenal remain keen, Liverpool are also monitoring the situation closely. Newcastle’s stance is firm, but significant bids could change the equation.

With both clubs preparing for a major summer transfer battle, Isak’s future is set to be one of the most intriguing storylines of the window.
