Alexander Isak just confirmed why Liverpool WILL bid for him

Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak in the summer and the player has summed up why very nicely.

Just about everywhere reports that Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak this summer. Anfield Watch certainly understands he's on the shortlist.

Though, he's not the only one. We exclusively revealed last night that Julian Alvarez is also on that list - and the Reds could end up going in that direction.

Liverpool do need alternatives to Isak, after all. The Swede will be incredibly expensive to sign in 2025, with Newcastle United reportedly wanting in the region of £150m.

Ridiculously, it could end up being more than that if enough clubs get involved. Liverpool would need to have a long, hard think about Isak's actual value to them.

But the club have at least one stance on him - there is a limit. Liverpool won't spend all summer trying to sign Isak and this will be a case of trying to get something done quickly.

If Newcastle aren't clear about doing business, Liverpool will move on. They can't afford to waste their entire summer on a potential failure.

Not when the attack is set to be overhauled, anyway.

Isak, though, is the priority from what we all understand. And the player himself has summed up why quite nicely.

Alexander Isak on Liverpool

Isak has been one of the best forwards on the planet this season. In terms of his overall game, there's a very solid argument that he's been the absolute best.

But that isn't everything when it comes to signing a player. There's no point in spending an enormous amount of money on someone who won't be able to replicate their form at your club.

Liverpool will want to make sure they sign the right player, not necessarily the best player. Fortunately, Isak is that, too.

“I really enjoy the games against Liverpool, because I think they’re not too different to ourselves, a high-pressing team and a direct team, which can lead to many counter-opportunities, and that’s the game I like," Isak told a press conference ahead of the Carabao Cup final.

"I feel good and enjoy playing against them.”

And that is why Liverpool are entertaining the idea of spending over £100m on Isak. He's not just a brilliant striker but he's one who sees the similar style of play.

It's not too often that this happens. Here's a brilliant player at a club who is inclined to sell and he openly fits the style of play.

This is what's led to Liverpool spending large amounts on Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Dominik Szoboszlai in the past. Elite talents who also fit the vision.

Isak does that, in his own words no less, and that's why Liverpool will bid this summer. Whether they get him is another matter - but the Reds will try and make this happen.
