Jamie Carragher names Alexander Isak Liverpool transfer alternative in 'break the bank' message

Jamie Carragher

Jamie Carragher is unsure whether Liverpool would break the bank to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak

Carragher has named Hugo Ekitike as an alternative.

The former defender believes that the Reds are 'probably kicking themselves' for missing the chance to sign the Sweden international from Real Sociedad.

Arne Slot faces a busy summer with a host of incomings and outgoings billed with Liverpool on the cusp of celebrating a second Premier League crown in five years.

In recent months, the futures of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz have become unclear following reports of interest from Saudi Arabia

Isak has proved to be a thorn in the side of the Liverpool defence after finding the back of the net in previous meetings with the Reds

The Swede has been linked with a move to Anfield, however Carragher has raised suspicions over whether the move would go against the transfer model on Merseyside.

"The one every club would like is Isak,"

"I'm not sure we're in a position where there's absolutely great centre forwards around that you can take your pick.

"Do I think Liverpool can buy Isak? I don't know. I'm not sure Liverpool would want to pay that type of money for that player, it's not their model, their model is 'we'll get the next Isak'.

"They'll be probably kicking themselves thinking. 'why didn't we get Isak from Real Sociedad?' I don't think they'll go break the bank for him.
