Liverpool are extremely keen to add Newcastle star Alexander Isaac to a stunning team ahead of the new season, and may not be far away from the move following the breakthrough
Darwin Nunes appears to be closing at the Liverpool exit, but their hopes to replace him with Alexander Isaac may have been hit — thanks to Benjamin Sesco.
The Reds have a Newcastle star at the top of the list, looking at the £110 million opening bid rejected by Eddie Howe’s side. Magpies may agree to a deal below the huge £150 million valuation, but if you want to secure a replacement.
Liverpool also knows they need to sanction the famous exits as they have already splashed cash this summer, and Italian reports say Saudi Arabia’s Al-Giral is locked up in Darwin Nunes’ contract. It is suggested that they have reached an oral agreement with Liverpool.
The asking price for Nunes in Liverpool was thought to be in the area of around £610 million, so if that goes on, it would free up important funds for the real-life Premier League champions. Nunez – linked to Naples and AC Milan this summer – is currently discussing his personal conditions with Alhiral.
And his exit could theoretically clear the path for Liverpool to make Isaac’s move, but the chances that the deal would soon be completed are now hanging in the thread.

Newcastle had hopes of replacing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesco with Isak. Eddie Howe’s side has launched two offers for Slovenian strikers. The second was accepted by the Bundesliga side.
However, on Wednesday, Sesco chose Manchester United as his favorite club instead. The Red Devils are now signed a deal. It leaves Newcastle – still struggling to drive Yoan Wissa out of Brentford – reluctant to negotiate with their own star striker without a proper replacement.
ISAK has returned to the northeast for the last few days after not joining his teammates on the preseason Asia Tour thanks to “thigh injuries.” And Hau warns Isaac that he will not be able to just go back.
“You need to earn the right to train with us. We are Newcastle United. Players are responsible for being a team and part of the team – you have to act the right way.

“We make sure that players do that in order to gain the right to train with the group. Players cannot expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal.”
“Of course I want to be him (there’s there) but he doesn’t know at this moment,” the Newcastle boss added. “We’re here on a lagging time, training and preparing for the game. Others are back at home to deal with the situation.”
Nunez and Isak appear in a new campaign behind the contrasting seasons. Last season, Uruguayan’s misfires scored only five Premier League goals, but Isaac scored 27 in all competitions, including the goal that helped Newcastle beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
