LIVERPOOL are leading the race to sign Newcastle United superstar Alexander Isak, according to bookmakers Betfred.
The Reds were priced at 7/4 this morning to land the Swedish striker – but those odds have since plummeted to 8/11, making Liverpool the clear favourites.

The dramatic shift comes in the wake of a report from David Ornstein of The Athletic, who claims Liverpool are prepared to break their transfer record for a second time this summer in a bid to bring Isak to Anfield.
Ornstein reports that the Merseyside club have made an initial approach for the 25-year-old and are willing to pay in excess of £120million for his signature.
Although no formal offer has yet been submitted, Liverpool have made acquiring a top-class striker their priority this summer as they look to bolster their attacking options.
SunSport understands that Newcastle, who recently saw a £69.5m bid for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike rejected, have made it clear they have no intention of selling Isak.
Since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022 for £63m, Isak has scored an impressive 54 goals in 86 Premier League appearances.
Newcastle are believed to value the striker at around £150m – a figure that could prove a stumbling block, even for a club with Liverpool’s financial muscle.

Nevertheless, Liverpool remain firm favourites in the betting markets, now odds-on at 8/11 with Betfred.
Betfred’s Robert Ford said: “After it was reported this afternoon that Liverpool have made an approach for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, we’ve slashed the Sweden international’s odds of moving to Anfield to odds-on (8/11) after previously being priced at 7/4 this morning.
“There’s a 58% chance of the move happening, increasing by 22% since the news broke, and it has the potential to be the most expensive transfer in Premier League history after a £120 million figure was reported.”
It appears to be a one-horse race, with Arsenal the next most likely contenders at 25/1 – a price expected to drift if they confirm the signing of Viktor Gyokeres.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are priced at 25/1 and 33/1 respectively, while European champions Paris Saint-Germain are long shots at 50/1.
