Well, Fabrizio Romano has now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sffqo3JWXO4\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> that Liverpool will pursue the 26-year-old striker in the 2025 summer window.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/03\/14\/liverpool-trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-2\/\" target=\"_self\">\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/03\/14\/liverpool-trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Liverpool Receive Blow On Trent Alexander-Arnold&#8217;s Future<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He claims that the Reds have already made contact with representatives close to the Newcastle star ahead of the summer window.

This means Liverpool could face a fight with their Premier League title rivals for the Swedish forward&#8217;s signing after the ongoing campaign is over.<\/p>\n<h3>How Much Could Isak Signing Cost Liverpool?<\/h3>\n<p>The major problem that the Reds or any other club would face in the pursuit of Isak is Newcastle United&#8217;s valuation of him.
