Newcastle want Hugo Ekitike. Liverpool want Alexander Isak. Is there a world in which selling Isak and bringing in Ekitike makes sense?

Liverpool have identified Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak as a potential target this summer transfer window as they step up efforts to bolster their attack.

Liverpool have made their first formal move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, with a British-record bid that could surpass £125 million, Mail Sport reported Tuesday. The Premier League champions are determined to sign a new centre-forward and are now officially testing Newcastle’s long-standing stance that the Sweden international is not for sale.
