Isak has been training alone due to a "thigh injury" that has prevented him from joining his team's preseason preparations. Despite this, Liverpool has not slowed down in their approach for the striker, who scored 27 goals in 42 appearances last season.

According to a journalist, the club has already reached an agreement with Isak over his contract. Isak is eager to make the move to Liverpool as early as this transfer window. His salary at the club would be similar to Ekitike's, around £13.8m-per-year.

Newcastle is still pushing to sign Benjamin Sesko, but Manchester United is also in the running. The signing of Isak would send a strong signal to the rest of the league that manager Arne Slot is committed to achieving the double and winning his second Premier League title in his second season.

Isak's addition would bring a high-quality and versatile striker to the team, which would be a significant boost to Liverpool's chances in the league. His experience and age would also make him a valuable asset to the team.

The signing of Isak would also be a significant move for Liverpool, as it would show their commitment to competing at the highest level and their willingness to invest in top talent.
