Alexander Isak's stance remains extremely clear: he wants to join Liverpool. Despite the numerous efforts made by Newcastle United's senior management, it is evident from the direct communications between the player himself, his agent, and the key figures of the club's board and management that Isak is eager to play for Liverpool.
Therefore, even as the transfer window is about to close and under pressure from Newcastle's key figures, he still maintains this position. Liverpool is currently still advancing the deal and has not turned to other targets. At least as of today, they remain fully focused on Isak. However, the Reds cannot wait indefinitely—they are well aware that they must sign a striker at some point. If the deal with Isak ultimately falls through, they will have no choice but to consider alternative options.
That said, Liverpool is expected to go all out to pursue Isak within the next 24 hours. They view this as an excellent opportunity to sign the Swedish striker, and there are almost no competitors in the market for him. Due to financial, tactical, or other reasons, Isak has not held negotiations with any other club; he has only kept the possibility of a transfer open for Liverpool.
For Liverpool, this is a rare chance to sign a world-class striker and have him don the Reds' jersey. It must be emphasized, however, that whether this deal can be finalized depends entirely on Newcastle United. Liverpool is already prepared to pay the transfer fee, Isak is willing to leave, and personal terms are not an issue—everything hinges on whether Newcastle is willing to let the player go.
