Newcastle are looking to sign a striker to support Alexander Isak. If the Magpies want more success in the upcoming years, they need to sign a striker who will be a good backup for Isak. Now, Callum Wilson cannot be considered as a backup for Isak.
The Swedish international has been in a red hot for this season. And, whenever Callum Wilson came on, there was a drop-off upfront. That is why Newcastle are considering letting Wilson go this summer as they are looking to land a new striker.
Also, there is interest from Liverpool for Alexander Isak. The Reds want to sign the star striker as a replacement for Mohamed Salah who is yet to renew his deal with Liverpool. That is why the chances of Salah leaving Liverpool are increasing rapidly as the season is coming towards the climax.
That is why if Isak leaves Liverpool, there was a rumour that Newcastle might look for a cash-plus player deal involving Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan has struggled to impress Arne Slot as the Dutch manager is looking to offload him. So, Newcastle could have swopped in and signed the player. However, a different report is coming out from a prominent outlet.
Newcastle transfer news - Newcastle may not be interested in signing Darwin Nunez
Despite links, Newcastle may not sign Darwin Nunez this summer according to GiveMeSport. Yes, this is the latest Newcastle transfer news from the outlet. Many prominent news outlets were reporting that Newcastle might look for a swap deal that will see Alexander Isak moving to Anfield and Darwin Nunez joining the Magpies.
But, the latest report suggests otherwise. Newcastle are not looking to sign Darwin Nunez as he is not having a great season and the Magpies are looking elsewhere as a replacement for Isak in case he leaves. Also, there is another swap deal that can happen involving Alexander Isak and other two Liverpool players.
Newcastle could target Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliot
Newcastle will be charging a heavy price for Alexander Isak. And, one solution for Liverpool will be to offer a player to lower the price. This is where Newcastle might look to bring two current Liverpool players according to the same report.
Yes, Newcastle could ask for both Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliot in case there is a possibility of a swap deal involving Alexander Isak. Look, Liverpool may not be ready to lose both the players. But, if they want to sign Isak, they might have to give Newcastle something they cannot refuse.
The Magpies have no intention of selling Alexander Isak. But, if they get two such quality Liverpool players, Eddie Howe might start thinking otherwise. So, it will be interesting to see what will unfold in this transfer saga.
