Liverpool fund Isak transfer
But in order to afford Isak, Liverpool must sell a number of players.
Luis Diaz is set to complete his €75m move to Bayern Munich, with the Colombian in Munich on Tuesday for his medical and to sign his contract.
TeamTalk reports that Liverpool are planning to sell three more stars.
Darwin Nunez is for sale and will bring in well over €50m, while Italy winger Federico Chiesa will be sold for around €12-15m – probably to Serie A.
Liverpool will also look to offload Harvey Elliott for a decent price.
The sale of these four players will more than fund Isak’s transfer.
The Reds have already had a heavy spending summer, with over €300m spent.
Isak has emerged as one of the best strikers in European football over the past couple of seasons.
