Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS Liverpool move for ‘one of the best’ if Alexander Isak fails…

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in signing ‘one of the best’ players if their pursuit of Alexander Isak does not succeed.

Romano has provided insights into Liverpool’s strategy should their attempt to acquire Isak fall through. This is a significant development.

Liverpool is very eager to secure Alexander Isak, who has been their primary target throughout the year.

Nonetheless, finalizing this deal is proving to be quite challenging. Newcastle United is reluctant to part with the player, and Isak is actively trying to engineer his exit.

Essentially, that is the only way this transfer can materialize. It seems everyone is cognizant of this situation, and Isak’s limited playing time during pre-season strongly indicates he might be on the move.

However, there is still a scenario where Liverpool could miss out on Isak, leaving him at Newcastle.

This is a genuine possibility, especially since the Magpies have not secured a suitable replacement, which heightens the likelihood of him staying put.

Thus, as Fabrizio Romano has confirmed, Liverpool does have a contingency plan.

Romano provided an update on his YouTube channel late Saturday, discussing Liverpool’s strategy. If Isak does not make his way to Merseyside, they will turn their attention to Bradley Barcola.

“Liverpool continues to prioritize Alexander Isak, but we are aware of their interest in Barcola,” he stated. “We are familiar with the narrative surrounding Barcola.

“As I mentioned in recent days, if they are unable to secure Isak, Barcola will become Liverpool’s primary target.

However, for now, their focus remains on Isak at least for this week — we will see what unfolds next week — but this week, their attention is on Isak.

“They have a liking for Barcola. They value Barcola. Who wouldn’t? He is one of the finest wingers globally.”

Currently, we believe Liverpool will successfully sign Isak. Nevertheless, Barcola would serve as an excellent alternative, providing Arne Slot with the attacking options he desires.

Therefore, he is certainly a player to keep an eye on for the rest of this transfer window, even if the chances of it happening are still slim. But you never know.

Perhaps the Frenchman is the marquee signing we have been anticipating. Or it could simply be Isak.
