Liverpool is stepping up their pursuit of Alexander Isak, with reports claiming the Reds are preparing a fresh bid that could rise to £140 million, including add-ons.

According to TBR Football, the Premier League champions are determined to land the 25-year-old striker before the transfer window closes. Their latest proposal will surpass the £130m mark but still falls short of Newcastle United’s £150m valuation.

Despite Newcastle’s firm stance against selling, Isak is believed to be keen on a move to Anfield and has informed the club of his desire to join Liverpool.

The Swedish forward has not featured for the Magpies this season, further fueling speculation about his future.

With the transfer deadline fast approaching, all eyes are on whether Liverpool will increase their bid further or Newcastle will soften their stance on one of their star players.
