Michael Owen on Isak’s Potential Liverpool Move…
Michael Owen believes Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool is as promising as finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Despite Newcastle turning down Liverpool’s generous offer of $140 million, Isak still dreams of wearing the Reds’ jersey. With three years left on his contract at Newcastle, the Swedish striker has been seen training solo in Spain rather than joining his team in the Far East. This isn’t because he’s plotting to become the next James Bond, but due to a minor injury that kept him away from his teammates.
While Liverpool hasn’t yet proposed a second bid, they are watching the situation as closely as a cat eyeing a laser pointer. Former forward Owen insists club dynamics make it a regular soap opera in football. Even as Newcastle enjoys its Champions League status, Owen argues Liverpool’s trophy chances could tempt any player. With their reshaping of the attack post-Diaz exit to Bayern Munich, Liverpool’s interest in Isak makes sense. If the striker makes the switch, Darwin Nunez might find himself as useful as a chocolate teapot in a heatwave, should Liverpool decide to liquidate their assets.
