Attention has now turned to Newcastle’s Isak, with the Times of London reporting that the club is still interested in the Swedish striker.

“For Alexander Isak, in terms of percentage for Liverpool, it’s at 60 percent,” he told DAZN Transfer.

However, The Athletic notes that while Liverpool can afford such spending in the short term, there are longer-term considerations.

Liverpool have reached an agreement to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, with the Colombian winger expected to sign a four-year deal. The transfer, reported at £65.5 million, represents not just a significant return on investment for the club but also a case study in effective squad management and strategic planning.

Liverpool will be weaker without him.

This comes after Bayern Munich reached an agreement with Liverpool to sign Diaz for a reported €75m (£65.5m).
