Report: Arsenal and Liverpool are ‘literally fighting’ to sign ‘exceptional’ striker, Klopp has already bid for him
Arsenal and Liverpool are ‘literally fighting’ each other in the race to sign Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak this summer.
That’s according to , as translated by , who have revealed that even Manchester United are keen to sign him.
Arsenal have long been linked with a move for Isak, a player . The Swede was even in January, which raised the excitement level among Gunners supporters over a possible deal.
No move materialised then but it looks like it’s Liverpool who are leading the race now.
Arsenal and Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak
The report claims that Real Sociedad are close to accepting that they’ll be left with no choice but to sell their star Swedish striker to one of the English clubs in the summer.
The Spanish side believe there’s a big chance that a club will trigger Isak’s £75 million release clause before the start of next season. Even if that doesn’t happen, they can get a fee close to that mammoth figure, and that will make them a very rich club.
Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly ‘fighting’ each other for his signature and both clubs could do with a striker of his quality.
However, with Manchester United also in the race, it won’t be a surprise to see him end up at Old Trafford instead.
Jurgen Klopp has made the first move
According to a report from , Liverpool tabled a £59 million bid for Isak just a few days ago.
It was claimed that the Reds sent the offer through an intermediary. They know very well that the demand for him will be massive in the summer, which is why they want to wrap things up as soon as possible.
Liverpool did the same with Ibrahima Konate last summer. The deal that saw the Frenchman move from RB Leipzig to Anfield was completed at the end of May, much before the transfer window opened.
It will be interesting to see if they can close this deal soon as well, but with Arsenal and Manchester United also monitoring the situation, it may not be as easy as it was last summer.
