Alexander Isak: Are Newcastle’s owners PIF helping Liverpool buy Magpies striker?

However, football finance expert Kieran Maguire said that Liverpool could buy ISAK, regardless of whether Nunez was staying.

“Even though they were very active in the transfer window, if they really wanted, they could spend £ 200-250 million and would still be in PSR [profit and sustainability rules] Borders, BB BBC Sport said.

Liverpool signed Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi for a total of 265 million pounds.

However, Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departures compensated the first 115 million pounds.

Maguire added: “I think people join the points and perhaps two plus two equals, this is a ‘drawing my back? I will draw yours’ a situation. But I think there is enough evidence to support it.

“I suspect that Liverpool will be the greatest beneficiary instead of a pif club. He doesn’t want to sell Newcastle Isak.

“When it comes to Al Hilal, there are many strikers they can buy.
