# Virals: Liverpool reportedly ‘considering’ making move for Alexander Isak

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/11/09/virals-liverpool-set-to-compete-for-signing-of-fc-porto-ace-luis-diaz/) are reportedly ‘considering’ a move for Real Sociedad striker [Alexander Isak](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/30/freddie-ljungberg-lauds-liverpool-target-alexander-isak/).

The Reds were [initially linked](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fans-alexander-isak-transfer-21470904) with the 22-year-old during the summer following a superb breakthrough onto the international stage with Sweden.

Isak was a standout performer for the Scandinavian nation at Euro 2020 and former Premier League winger Freddie Ljungberg became besotted with the [‘special’](https://www.itv.com/football/articles/highlights-artem-dovbyk-snatches-dramatic-last-gasp-winner-as-ukraine-book) ace.

According to a report from a Spanish outlet [El Nacional](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/klopp-demana-al-liverpool-el-fitxatge-que-joan-laporta-va-descartar-per-portar-el-kun-agueero-al-barca_667475_102.html), as cited by [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom) on Twitter, Jurgen Klopp is eyeing Isak as a Divock Origi replacement.

The report claims that Liverpool could be preparing a €40million (£34million) offer to take the [29-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexander-isak/nationalmannschaft/spieler/349066/verein_id/3557) starlet – some way short of the €90milion (£76million) release clause.

Following on from a [17 La Liga goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexander-isak/leistungsdaten/spieler/349066/plus/0?saison=2020) 2020/21 campaign, Isak has netted [five times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexander-isak/leistungsdaten/spieler/349066/plus/0?saison=2021) in 13 appearances across all competitions this season for the table-topping Sociedad.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Despite his almost target man-esque look at 6’2, the Swedish frontman possesses [superb dribbling ability](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/299254/Show/Alexander-Isak) and is more in the mould of Roberto Firmino than Peter Crouch.

Klopp will need to add [attacking reinforcements](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) sooner rather than later and finding a replacement for Origi seems like a long time coming.

Valued at £36million and under contract until 2026 in Spain ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexander-isak/marktwertverlauf/spieler/349066)), whilst it may not take the full release clause to do the trick, an offer somewhere close will likely be needed to get the deal over the line.
