Liverpool have reportedly made an ‘informal offer’ to sign Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak.
The 22-year-old has been linked with the Reds for some time and appears to remain on the radar on Merseyside.
Having attracted admirers following impressive displays for both club and country, the Swedish international seems destined to move in the summer window.
According to the latest report from Mundo Deportivo, as cited by LFC Transfer Room on Twitter, the Anfield club have made their first move.

The report claims that Liverpool have made a ‘proposal’ of €70million (£58million) to sign the 31-cap towering frontman.
So far this season Isak – who is tipped to be the ‘perfect’ forward for Jurgen Klopp by Jose Enrique – has scored eight times and provided three assists in 32 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £36million and under contract in Spain until 2026 (Transfermarkt), it may take the entire €90million (£75million) asking price to land the Swede.
At just 22 and with plenty of room for improvement, shelling out big money for the starlet would undoubtedly be a risk.
However, as Roberto Firmino edges towards the final 12 months of a deal on Anfield and Divock Origi seemingly edges towards the exit door, Klopp will want a replacement centre-forward.
Albeit far from the finished article, there is plenty to work with in Isak and Klopp and co would relish the opportunity of honing the next superstar striker.
