Liverpool are reportedly exploring a sensational swap deal to secure long-term target Alexander Isak from Newcastle United this summer.

The Swedish striker has been outstanding during his time at St. James’ Park and is on the radar of both Liverpool and Arsenal. However, Newcastle are expected to demand a hefty fee—potentially around £150 million—making a straight cash deal unlikely.

According to the *Daily Express*, Liverpool may look to include Harvey Elliott as part of the package to reduce the financial burden. Newcastle are said to admire the young midfielder, who impressed for England’s U21s this summer.

Elliott has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Anfield, and with Arne Slot boasting strong midfield depth, a move to Tyneside could offer him more game time.

With Darwin Nunez expected to depart and Liverpool eyeing a top-class replacement up front, Isak is seen as an ideal fit. The Reds have also been linked to Hugo Ekitike as an alternative striking option.
