- ليفربول plot £130m swoop for Isak
- Newcastle eye Esposito as a possible heir
- انتر refuse to cash in on youngster
ShouldIsak storm out of the North East, Newcastle already have their eyes set on a dazzling young replacement: Pio Esposito. Il Messaggero reports that the Magpies have joined أتالانتا in chasing the 20-year-old Inter Milan prodigy, who returned from a successful loan at Spezia, where he notched 17 goals in 34 الدوري الإيطالي appearances. Esposito underlined his potential at the Club كأس العالم, where he bagged his first goal for Inter in a 2-0 triumph over ريفر بليت.
Despite the flurry of interest, Inter are digging their heels in and have already turned down a €45m approach from Napoli. Instead, the Nerazzurri are prioritising the sale of Mehdi Taremi, who is waiting for فولهام to table a formal proposal. Offloading the 33-year-old striker would give Inter more breathing room financially without forcing them to sacrifice their crown jewel, Esposito.
While Esposito sits firmly on Inter’s “not for sale” list, Newcastle are refusing to sit idle. Should negotiations fail to make headway, Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen has emerged as a backup target.
If Isak bolts for Anfield, the Magpies’ frantic dash for a replacement could define their season. And while Pio Esposito ticks all the boxes, prising him from Inter may prove mission impossible. For now, all eyes are on the Liverpool bid. If the Reds get their way, the dominoes could fall quickly.
