LIVERPOOL have reportedly made shock overtures to sign Alexander Isak in a club-record deal.
Kop chief Arne Slot is eager to continue bolstering the Premier League champions' attacking options for the upcoming season.
The Merseysiders have already somewhat done that with the acquisition of the much-coveted Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
And Slot is reportedly looking to add some serious firepower to his squad with the acquisition of Newcastle hitman Isak.
That's according to reporter Fabrizio Romano, who claims the Kop club have reached out to the Magpies to gauge their willingness to seLl Isak.
He wrote on X: "Liverpool made [a] club-to-club approach with Newcastle to discuss record bid for Alexander Isak."
According to Romano, if Newcastle double down on their desire to keep Isak, the Reds will pursue a move for Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike.
He added: "If Isak won’t be available, Liverpool can enter Ekitike race.
"Decision up to Newcastle as they never wanted to sell Isak + offer new deal."
According to The Athletic, Liverpool are willing to shatter their club record fee for the SECOND TIME this summer to land the Swede.
They claim the Prem champions would be willing to spend £120million to acquire Isak's services.
The Reds are said to have "communicated" to Newcastle that they're willing to splash that amount on Isak should they change their stance on selling him.
