Liverpool now preparing club record bid to sign new £120k-p/w Nunez upgrade

Liverpool are now preparing a club record offer to sign a new forward for Arne Slot as they look to solidify their spot at the top of European football, according to a fresh report.

Liverpool set for busy summer

After back to back quiet transfer windows, Liverpool are set to be incredibly busy this summer. The contract situations of Virgil van Dijk, Mohammed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold all hang over their head, with the trio all key parts of this season’s success but set to walk away for nothing at the end of the campaign as things stand.

There are other issues to sort too; Andy Robertson’s form has dipped severely this season, and a new left back will certainly be on the agenda for the Premier League leaders, with Milos Kerkez strongly linked with a move to Anfield.

Further forward, there is plenty to do in attack. Federico Chiesa arrived in the summer but has spent much of the campaign on the injury table, while Darwin Nunez has struggled for any consistency this year and it has been suggested that Liverpool are ready to cut ties with him this summer after a third frustrating season on Merseyside.

There are also concerns over Diogo Jota, who like Chiesa has struggled for fitness, with injuries restricting him to just seven starts this season in the Premier League.

Liverpool believe they have one of Europe’s biggest talents in this forward.

With that in mind, there is likely to be major change in attack at Anfield, and now they could be set to break the bank to secure their future no.9.

Liverpool now preparing astronomical offer

According to a shock report from Spain, Liverpool have now turned their attentions to long-time Arsenal target Alexander Isak, and are even preparing an offer to try and tempt Newcastle into selling.

Behind Mo Salah, Isak has been the form player in the Premier League this season, and has found the net 17 times already, more than Nunez and Luis Diaz combined.

His form has seen him praised by all sides, with Michael Owen hailing him as a top striker: “He is top class in every way. He oozes class. He is seriously good and Newcastle have done well to get him, develop him and feed him.”

The Swede still has three years left to run on his £120,000 a week deal on Tyneside and they will be desperate for him to stay, but he continues to be linked with a move away from the Magpies.

Now, the report claims that Liverpool are the latest to show an interest, and it is added that the Reds are “already working on a record-breaking offer” which would see them offer €130m (£108m) for the 25-year-old, a sum that would be their highest ever fee were a move to go through.

Of course, Newcastle will be doing everything that they can to convince Isak to remain on Tyneside, but with interest mounting, a failure to qualify for the Champions League at the end of the current campaign could open the door to his potential exit.
