Alexander Isak scored triple the number of goals scored by Liverpool’s Darwin Núnez
Reds table £110M bid for Newcastle’s star striker — but Magpies resist
Liverpool are making Alexander Isak their top priority after confirming the sale of Darwin Núñez to Al-Hilal. According to reports in England, the Reds have already offered £110 million (€129M) for the Newcastle United forward, but the Magpies have so far rejected the bid.
Isak Wants the Move
The Swedish striker has reportedly given the green light to a transfer to Anfield and even dropped a hint on Instagram, expressing his frustration with Newcastle’s refusal to negotiate. Manager Arne Slot views him as the perfect fit for his new-look Liverpool attack.
Isak vs Núñez: The Numbers
Liverpool’s insistence is backed by the numbers. Isak was one of the Premier League’s most clinical forwards last season, while Núñez struggled in front of goal.
- Isak (Newcastle 22/23): 42 matches, 27 goals + 6 assists = 33 G/A
- Núñez (Liverpool 22/23): 47 matches, 7 goals + 5 assists = 12 G/A
The difference is clear: Isak delivered nearly three times more goals than the Uruguayan in fewer appearances.
Liverpool’s Summer Spending
The chase for Isak comes after a record summer for the Reds, who have already invested €339 million on new signings. His arrival would not only replace Núñez but also mark one of the biggest transfers in Premier League history.
For now, Newcastle remain firm, but Liverpool are expected to come back with an improved offer in the final days of the window.
