Liverpool FC is prioritizing the acquisition of a new striker this summer amid Darwin Nunez's disappointing performance. Manager Arne Slot, backed by the club, hopes to improve their squad. However, Liverpool faces challenges in signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United due to the hefty £150 million price tag, as Newcastle intends to keep him and even strengthen their attack. As Liverpool invests in extending contracts for key players like Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, their financial commitments limit big transfers, prompting them to seek alternative options in the market.
The Magpies have no intention of selling their star man this summer and instead they are ready to add another striker to their squad while keeping Isak at the club.
After realising they are fighting a battle that they will fail, the Premier League champions have started looking for alternatives in the market.
Liverpool are in decent financial shape but their ongoing commitments are significant. So I wouldn't be expecting big, big acquisitions for Liverpool this summer.
It appears to me they have backed themselves into an almost unmanageable corner with Van Dijk and Salah contract negotiations they're spending a huge amount on.
