Fabrizio Romano says 60% chance Liverpool will sign Alexander Isak

Fabrizio Romano has said that there is a 60% chance that Liverpool will sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.

The well-known and well-respected journalist has claimed that Liverpool are in talks with Premier League rivals Newcastle over Isak, with the Sweden international striker making it clear to the Magpies that he wants to join the Premier League champions.

Romano said on DAZN:“Look, for Alexander Isak, what I can tell you, in terms of percentage for Liverpool, is 60 per cent.

“It’s quite optimistic, but there is still work to do. Still 40 per cent to do before saying Isak is going to be a Liverpool player, but Liverpool have all the intentions to go strong for him.

“Liverpool already made contact with Newcastle two weeks ago. Liverpool are speaking with Newcastle because they would be ready to make a record proposal for the Premier League for Alexander Isak, so to break the bank and go for the player.

“The player is very keen on the move, the player informed Newcastle about his desire to leave.

“He is not considering Saudi or any other option. There were rumours of Man Utd, Arsenal – no. Only Liverpool.

“Now depends on Newcastle. If they want to open the door to this exit, Liverpool will be ready to make something historical.”
