Victor Osimhen vs Alexander Isak [Edited\/Soccernet.ng]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Liverpool have earlier been linked with luring Super Eagles attacker, Victor Osimhen, to the English Premier League\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

English Premier League champions Liverpool have stepped up their summer transfer activity by approaching Newcastle United for Alexander Isak, Soccernet.ng reports.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to The Athletic\u2019s David Ornstein<\/a>, the deal for the Swedish forward is worth around \u00a3120 million.<\/p>\n

The six-time FA Cup champions, however, maintain a firm stance that the former Borussia Dortmund player, Isak, is not for sale.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have made an approach to Newcastle to express their interest in signing Alexander Isak in a \u00a3120M deal.<\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s stance has not changed: They don\u2019t want to sell.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old former Real Sociedad striker is considered central to the club’s long-term project after netting 27 goals last season.<\/p>\n

For Nigerian goal poacher Victor Osimhen<\/a>, this could further complicate any lingering hopes of securing a move to the Premier League, as they have emerged as the most serious suitors from the English side.<\/p>\n

Osimhen, long linked with several English clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal, is reportedly open to leaving Napoli this summer.<\/p>\n

But with Liverpool prioritising Isak, the likelihood of a Merseyside switch for Osimhen now appears increasingly slim.<\/p>\n

Napoli are still seeking around \u20ac75 million for Osimhen, a fee few clubs seem ready to meet outright, but most have pushed back owing to his salary demands.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s focus on Isak suggests Osimhen will have to stick with Galatasaray as he weighs his next move.<\/p>\n

While Manchester United continue to monitor his situation, there\u2019s growing uncertainty about whether the Premier League is still a realistic destination for the Super Eagles star in this window.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
