Jose Enrique made 99 appearances for Liverpool following a move from Newcastle in 2011.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard scored two goals and provided nine assists for the Reds \u2013 also winning the League Cup in 2012 \u2013 as he left his mark on Merseyside, keeping a connection to Liverpool<\/a> even after his departure in 2016.<\/p>\n Jose Enrique<\/a> would often act as something of a cheerleader for Liverpool in the media \u2013 and a request he made on Instagram back in 2021 could now come true.<\/p>\n Jose Enrique dreamed of Alexander Isak at Anfield and Liverpool could now make it happen<\/p>\n The man from Valencia \u2013 who also made 129 appearances for Newcastle \u2013 wrote on Instagram in June 2021 that he \u201cwould love to see\u201d Alexander Isak<\/a> playing for Liverpool one day, back when the Swede was still playing for Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n Enrique commented: \u201cI (would) love to see him at Anfield. Really good player and I believe he is going to become a world class player.\u201d<\/p>\n Isak eventually sealed a \u00a363m move to Newcastle in August 2022, where he has since impressively racked up a total of 62 goals in 109 appearances for the Magpies.<\/p>\n Now \u2013 however \u2013 a move to Anfield looks on.<\/p>\n TBR Football understand Liverpool are attempting to sign Isak<\/a> in a deal worth over \u00a3120m \u2013 which would be a new British transfer record \u2013 and the Sweden international is currently distancing himself from Newcastle to force a move. <\/p>\n A deal certainly seems possible at this moment in time, so Liverpool could soon grant Enrique his wish.<\/p>\n Jose Enrique doubled down on Alexander Isak and was spot on<\/p>\n Enrique \u2013 who admires Mohamed Salah<\/a> \u2013 also said the following about Isak when speaking to the Metro<\/a> back in December 2021, and was absolutely spot on with his comments about the man born in Solna.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI love Isak from Real Sociedad. I think they (Liverpool) should have signed him in the summer before he signed a new deal with Sociedad. Now it will be difficult, but if they go with the right amount of money, definitely he is a player worth signing.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s 22, a big lad, quick, strong, good one-v-one, can play on the wings, as well as a number nine, he defends. Isak is definitely perfect for Liverpool\u2019s profile of signings.\u201d<\/p>\n Isak could soon follow in Enrique\u2019s footsteps by swapping Newcastle for Liverpool, albeit in a slightly more expensive deal than the \u00a36m sum that changed hands back in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jose Enrique made 99 appearances for Liverpool following a move from Newcastle in 2011.
