Reds Plan $175 Million Move for Isak…

Liverpool is ready to turn their wallet upside down and shake out a record-breaking bid for Newcastle United’s striker Alexander Isak faster than you can say “bargain bin shopping at Christmas.” With Newcastle finding a backup singer for Isak in Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade, the Reds are set to make a jaw-dropping move for the star, who now believes St. James’ Park contract promises were as good as an IOU written on a napkin. They had their initial bid booted out like yesterday’s leftovers, but they’re back for more before the window slams shut.

According to The Telegraph, Liverpool is gearing up to toss $175 million into the mix for Isak—enough cash to buy a small island or perhaps a lifetime supply of socks (pre-made holes included). While Newcastle has set the price tag at $200 million, this offer is expected to break British transfer records once all the bells, whistles, and add-ons are in place. Fans should stay tuned for more updates as the drama unfolds faster than a soap opera cliffhanger. Don’t forget to follow @Liverpoolcom_ for the latest play-by-play!
