Barcelona sense bargain deal for Liverpool forward whose value has plummeted

Barcelona sense bargain deal for Liverpool forward whose value has plummeted Liverpool are eyeing up big changes to their frontline this summer. Last year the Reds - who were then the Premier League defending champions - spent £450m on new players. Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak were among the headline arrivals for a remodelled strike line. Sadly for Arne Slot the Anfield side got worse - not better - and it cost him his job. Liverpool slumped from first to fifth with Wirtz and Isak in particular struggling for an impact. Wirtz and Isak struggle for consistency Wirtz cost a fee that could reach £116m - then a British record - when coming on board from Bayer Leverkusen. And Isak was even more expensive with Liverpool having to pay £125m to sign him from Newcastle on a six-year deal. But the Sweden international endured a nightmare first season on Merseyside - suffering several injury problems including a broken leg. Isak only scored four times in total before heading off to the FIFA World Cup - where he has come into a bit of encouraging form. Isak now on Barca's list Reports from Spain - including one in Mundo Deportivo - are now claiming that Barcelona have been in attendance to scout Isak in North America. The Catalans sense a chance for a deal for Isak - whose transfer value has diminished significantly over the last year or so. Robert Lewandowski has left the club on a free to join Chicago Fire - with it being reckoned that Julian Alvarez is Barca’s No1 choice to replace him.
