Liverpool are ready to make a last-ditch attempt to sign Newcastle forward Alexander Isak, who has been pushing to secure a move to Anfield since the beginning of the summer. With the Magpies reaching an agreement to sign Nick Woltemade, Arne Slot and co. are now feeling "very confident" to finally get the deal done for the Swedish striker.

Isak's situation remains the same, with the 25-year-old standing firm on his stance to never play for the club ever again, as he only wants a move to Liverpool this summer. Newcastle, however, kept blocking the Swede's departure as they failed to sign a potential replacement for him, but with Woltemade set to arrive now, the Magpies could finally be willing to let go of Isak to stabilise the difficult situation that they have experienced the entire summer so far.

On the other hand, despite feeling increasingly confident, Liverpool have still kept Real Madrid's Rodrygo as a possible backup for Isak, meaning that they might make a shock move to sign the Brazilian in case they still fail to sign the Swede.

Liverpool to push for Rodrygo in the next 24 hours?

At this moment, Liverpool are exploring all the alternatives, where they believe that Real Madrid's star winger Rodrygo will be a suitable option to further strengthen Arne Slot's attacking frontline before the summer transfer window closes on Monday.

The 24-year-old Brazil international has already established himself as a top talent in the world of football, and his turbulent situation at Madrid had attracted interest from several top clubs across the world, which included Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and even Al-Hilal.

As per GiveMeSport, Liverpool could make a move for Rodrygo in the next 24 hours, as they aim to get a clear answer about Alexander Isak from Newcastle United before the final day, which is Sunday, so that they can finalize a deal for Rodrygo before the deadline.

However, if Liverpool fail to get their hands on both Isak and Rodrygo, it will most likely not create any major issues in their attack, as their fresh recruit Hugo Ekitike has already pleased everyone with his promising start to life in the Premier League, which has completely relaxed the Merseyside giants, who are reported to be " already satisfied" with their summer business, irrespective of what happens in the final two days of the transfer window.
