Liverpool Considering Selling Alexander Isak in Shock January Move
Liverpool are already considering selling Alexander Isak amid his difficult start to life at the club, according to reports.
The defending Premier League champions are reportedly weighing up Isak’s early departure after he failed to convince Arne Slot in his first four months at the club, scoring just once in nine Premier League appearances.
Isak has been in and out of Liverpool’s starting line-up ever since his record £125m arrival from Newcastle in September and played just 20 minutes across the last two league games.
Hugo Ekitike has been shining in the forward’s absence, scoring four times and taking his season tally to 10 across all competitions.
Saudi Clubs Want Alexander Isak
According to Spanish publication Fichajes, Saudi Pro League clubs could be ready to offer Isak an escape route out of Liverpool in January amid his difficult first months at the club.
Several clubs in the Middle East are reportedly willing to make ‘very high’ offers for the ‘disconnected’ forward, whose representatives reportedly do not rule out the option of moving to Saudi Arabia.
Isak has scored just twice in 15 appearances since joining Liverpool in a club-record deal during the summer transfer window and has looked a shadow of himself from last season.
The Sweden international enjoyed a career-best Premier League campaign in 2024/25, netting 23 times and providing six assists in 34 appearances for Newcastle.
Isak is believed to be one of Liverpool’s best-paid players, taking home a reported £300,000 per week after bonuses. Only captain Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are reportedly earning more at Anfield.
Liverpool Want Salah to Stay
Liverpool have made it clear they intend to keep Salah at least until the end of the season despite his struggles under Slot.
According to reports, the Reds are not considering selling the Egyptian following his explosive outburst at Leeds, during which he accused the club of ‘throwing him under the bus’.
Salah was reintroduced to the squad for Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Brighton last weekend and registered an assist for Ekitike’s second goal.
The Egyptian only penned a new two-year contract with the Anfield side in April, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2026/27 season.
Liverpool Keen on Antoine Semenyo
Despite their summer spree of £455m, Liverpool show no signs of slowing down in the market and have set their sights on landing Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo in January.
According to reports, the defending Premier League champions are monitoring the 25-year-old’s situation ahead of January, with Semenyo available to leave via a £65m release clause.
