Liverpool targets Alexander Isak as Salah replacement for next season

Summary

Liverpool aims to build their attack around Alexander Isak following Mohamed Salah's departure. Isak, with 54 goals in 86 appearances for Newcastle, is expected to regain form despite past injury issues. Liverpool is also pursuing players like Bradley Barcola and Yankubeh Minteh to complement Isak's style. Manager Andoni Iraola may shift focus toward creative players to support Isak rather than directly replacing Salah's prolific scoring.
