Unless a deal between the clubs are done it’s not close Personal terms were only agreed with Trafford. Fact remains, there is ZERO indication to suggest that Liverpool are walking away from Ekitike.

Novocastrian Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Starting to feel a bit like the Carroll sale this. Heard the initial approach on the radio in the morning going to work, laughed out loud. Followed the saga all day until he was sold. I wasn’t laughing then. We may think this all a load of bollocks but somethings not right. On top of the underwhelming window we are having this is a worry. When are PIF going to get a grip of things. Howe is conjuring up miracles on the pitch, it’s time for them to match his performance.

Big Geordie Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Another 6 weeks of this speculation to come. For the record, if Isak wants to move - it will happen. Howe won't want an unhappy player around the club. Just hope that we have a good replacement lined up if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but like Carroll, Isak is worth more to us than the money. It makes no sense to sell him, is he unhappy because he wants an improved contact from us or does he genuinely want to join Liverpool? Surely the latter can’t be true…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 If we can't afford to keep him on a new contract then we need to start hawking him out to Madrid and Barca asap, at the very least to get Liverpool to increase their bids. It feels like working minimum wage but having a partner with expensive taste. Pure stress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 We really messed up by not extending him many months ago but there’d still probably be speculation. Can’t blame him or his agent for wanting £300k+. Hopefully we can figure out a deal that works on both sides - will be never ending until then.

Not saying it’s going to happen but if PIF sold Isak now to Liverpool it would as bad as anything Ashley did in my opinion. After Howe won a trophy and qualified for the CL.

gdm Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 (edited) I’m beginning to twist my thoughts a bit and thinking this is a power play from Howe. To what end I don’t know but he’s never usually so sloppy with his quotes and the fact the quotes kept coming and got worse each time. That’s got to be deliberate imagine Howe’s went I’ll get you a new contract Alex watch this Edited July 19, 2025 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurentRobert Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 We are going to be playing 50+ games this season. No way we sell our only striker at this stage in the window. Even if Isak throws his toys out the pram we can't afford to lose him. We can still command a massive fee for him next summer when Lewandowski & Kane will most likely need replacing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
