With less than a month to go before the summer transfer window closes, Liverpool are still actively shaping their squad for the upcoming season. Liverpool have already made a strong statement with the signings of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. But their business is far from over. <\/p>
The Merseyside giants remain relentless in their pursuit of Alexander Isak, though Newcastle United continue to stand firm. The Magpies rejected Liverpool’s opening offer of £110 million for Isak and are reportedly holding out for a fee closer to £150 million to consider letting go of their star striker. The Swedish striker was made to train separately from the Newcastle squad after skipping their pre-season tour of Asia<\/p>
As a result, the Reds are exploring contingency plans if their pursuit of Alexander Isak fails to materialize. Reports from French media<\/a> claimed that Liverpool are now exploring alternative routes and Barcola is firmly on their radar. <\/p> On Wednesday evening, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that PSG attacker Bradley Barcola has emerged as a ‘dream target’ for Liverpool if Newcastle United continue to play hardball over Isak. In an update on his YouTube channel, Romano said,<\/p> “In case the Isak deal can’t happen because Newcastle decide to close their doors, Bradley Barcola is the dream option in terms of wingers. For Liverpool, the striker is Isak. If they can’t get him, there is a possibility to go for a winger. Barcola is seen as a dream target internally at Liverpool.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
