However, that is simply not the case and despite spending up to \u00a379m on a new number nine, they are preparing to go even bigger again to add Isak<\/a> to their ranks.<\/p>\n The Swede wants to leave Newcastle but the Magpies are not too keen on letting him go, although they find themselves in a position where it seems the only option.<\/p>\n With the fee involved and options Newcastle need to weigh up, however, this deal is far from over, with there still being many factors to consider.<\/p>\n That being said, Fabrizio Romano\u2019s<\/a> confidence on a transfer happening tends to be a good indication of its likelihood, with the journalist giving Liverpool<\/a> a percentage of how sure he is that it will happen.<\/p>\n The Reds have wanted Isak for many years now but ever since he set the Premier League alight, the chances of getting him seemed near-impossible. <\/p>\n They stuck around anyway and always stated their willingness to try their luck, and this summer they might just hit the jackpot.<\/p>\n According to Romano, he has a sneaky suspicion that Isak might end up at Anfield<\/a>, indicating that the Reds now have a 60% chance of landing their top target. <\/p>\n \u201cFor Alexander Isak, what I can tell you in terms of the percentage for him joining Liverpool is 60%,\u201d he told DAZN.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is quite optimistic but there is still work to do.
