Liverpool is already undergoing a very impressive summer transfer period, and could be even better with the possibility of signing Alexander Isaac, who is seeking a move away from Newcastle.
Last week, Isaac was widely reported to be keen to leave Newcastle, and was forced to withdraw from Singapore and South Korea’s preseason tour. Liverpool has not yet made any concrete moves. It is expected to happen soon after it is agreed to sell Louis Diaz to Bayern Munich, but they may be facing competition for the 25-year-old signature.

According to a soccer insider, finance expert Stephen Bourson is working on speculation surrounding Isaac and moves towards Saudi Arabia, with Saudi Arabia owned by PIF, the largest club in Newcastle’s majority shareholder.
“Newcastle doesn’t have to sell him. I think they can manage their financial fair play issues. He has a long contract. They can say no, but it’s not easy to say no when a player wants to leave.
“I think the situation with Al-Hilal is odd. You have a team that is very clearly a related party. That’s what they say in their own accounts. You have a team owned by the same owner. That transaction will be coordinated.
“First of all, we need a fair market valuation by the Premier League, so we limit the fee of probably £150 million. The Premier League won’t approve it, so there’s nothing like that because the Premier League won’t approve it.
Newcastle is reportedly hoping for £150 million from any club, including Liverpool. The Premier League hopes to lower this by using the will of the players to leave, but the Northeast Club is not in a position to be bullied by this issue.
