Michael Owen Urges Liverpool To Sign Alexander Isak As Darwin Nunez Exit Looms

Former Liverpool Star Recommends Arsenal Target Isak as Nunez’s Replacement

Ex-Liverpool striker Michael Owen has hinted that Darwin Nunez may not be part of Liverpool’s squad next season, urging the club to pursue Alexander Isak, who is also on Arsenal’s transfer radar.

Owen believes Liverpool should prioritize signing Isak from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window. The Swedish international has been in outstanding form, playing a crucial role in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup triumph this season.

Isak’s Impact at Newcastle and Why Liverpool Should Compete for His Signature

The 25-year-old forward was instrumental in Newcastle’s recent Carabao Cup final win, scoring in their 2-1 victory over Liverpool, ending the club’s long-standing trophy drought.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Owen emphasized that Liverpool must rival Arsenal for Isak if he becomes available in the summer:

“If Isak is on the market, Liverpool will do everything possible to sign him. But Arsenal will also be pushing hard—they desperately need a player of his caliber,” Owen stated.

He further praised Isak’s talent, suggesting that he has the potential to elevate Liverpool’s attack to the next level:

“You need elite players to compete at the highest level. Isak has that special quality—just look at Liverpool’s key players, like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.”

Is Darwin Nunez Leaving Liverpool?

Owen also cast doubt on Nunez’s future at Anfield, suggesting that the Uruguayan forward could be heading for an exit, with interest from Premier League clubs and foreign teams.

“I don’t see Darwin Nunez in a Liverpool shirt next season. There are clubs in England and abroad monitoring him closely.”

With Liverpool aiming for a strong squad overhaul, signing a proven goal-scorer like Isak could be a strategic move to strengthen their attacking options.
