Liverpool can sell five stars to fund mega £150m Alexander Isak transfer

Liverpool already smashed their club record transfer fee in the summer window, and now, FSG are reportedly determined to do it again. Florian Wirtz's signing has already been sealed in a deal potentially worth £116million, with £40m man Milos Kerkez expected to imminently complete his move from Bournemouth.

Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and Wirtz's Bayer Leverkusen team-mate, Jeremie Frimpong, have already arrived for a combined total of £58m. However, Arne Slot is far from done and seemingly intent on continuing to buy while in a position of strength. Indeed, the Premier League champions have also been linked with big-money moves for the likes of Marc Guehi and Anthony Gordon.

However, the Reds are now lining up a statement signing that surpasses either of those potential transfers. Newcastle are reportedly concerned over an approach for Alexander Isak, with £150m or more set to be the valuation for the striker.

It's a signing that would take Liverpool's summer spending way beyond the £300m mark, and for all their apparent financial power, would also require player sales. Express Sport outlines the five stars likely to be shipped away from Anfield to fund the Isak pursuit.

Darwin Nunez

The Uruguayan's future has been heading towards the inevitable ever since Slot criticised his contribution in games at the tail-end of last season. Napoli, a club seemingly ideal for Nunez, are said to have submitted a £32m bid, and regardless of the eventual fee, expect the forward to soon touch down in Naples.

Diogo Jota

Arguably remains Liverpool's best finisher, but unarguably remains a fitness liability. The purchase of Isak would render Jota, 28, to a bit part role ahead of his contract expiring next summer. Amid links to former club Wolves, given his quality, a prompt sale for the Reds would still command a healthy fee.

Luis Diaz

Having long flirted with Barcelona, Diaz can fund a sizable portion of FGS's bid for the Swedish international if Liverpool finally allow the Colombian forward to follow his apparent dreams. Barca reportedly rate him at £51m, a figure with signifies profit after the Merseyside club purchased him from Porto for £37m.

Having already snared Wirtz and Frimpong, capable of a defensive and advanced role out wide, it's prime time for the Reds to let Diaz go. According to Sport,Liverpool will have 'no choice' but to offer him a huge new contract or consider selling him, which should make that decision even more straightforward.

Jarell Quansah

If Nunez, Jota, and Diaz are already halfway out the door, then Quansah can already hear it closing behind him. The club has reportedly agreed on a £32m sale to Leverkusen, a deal that suits all parties after his struggles to fit in under Slot last season.

Andy Robertson

He is deservedly considered a club icon by fans, but he must now be offloaded to help fund bigger deals elsewhere. The arrival of Kerkez, the expiration of his contract next season, and the waning form of 2045/25 culminate in a trio of factors that justify Slot selling the Scot while he still can.
