The transfer saga of Alexander Isak had been quite exciting from the very first day. At first, Liverpool made an enquiry about the Swedish International, but his present side, Newcastle United, made it clear that he was not for sale. The former English League champions were desperate to keep their biggest player on their side.
Liverpool shifted their attention to their previous interest, which was Hugo Ekitike, and they did not take much time to land the French forward for a stunning fee of £79 million. The fans are still confused whether it was the right move since Ekitike was only successful in one season.
Alexander Isak wants to move to Liverpool
As soon as the transfer of Hugo Ekitike was done, Alexander Isak shocked the entire world when he tabled a transfer request. Nobody could understand what was going through his mind. Liverpool made an enquiry about him, but he remained quiet. But now, when Liverpool is done signing Ekitike, he is looking forward to moving away.

At one point, a lot of fans thought maybe he is not fancying a deal to Liverpool, he is looking forward to moving to some other team. But according to reports from famous reporter Fabrizio Romano, the 25 year old wants to move to Liverpool only. Here is what Romano wrote on his Facebook newsfeed regarding this matter;

Romano already explained previously that despite Liverpool making the huge signing of Ekitike, they can still move for Isak as he had already been a matter of interest for them previously. If Romano's news is right, it is only a matter of time before Isak wears a Liverpool jersey.
