Alexander Isak has reportedly asked his agents to find him a move away from Liverpool in the summer.
The Sweden international has made his intentions clear to those close to him, indicating he wants to leave the club.
Isak’s Preferred Destination
Reports in Spain claim that Isak ‘has asked his agents to take him out of Liverpool’ with the former Newcastle striker ‘considering a change of scenery after less than a year’.
Isak has asked his agents to initiate contact with Barcelona, a club that has shown interest in him in the past but never made a formal offer.
The Sweden international believes that Barcelona’s style of play can enhance his qualities and offer him the leading role he isn’t finding in England.
Liverpool’s Stance on Isak’s Departure
Isak is ‘willing to facilitate the transfer’ to the Catalan giants but the deal will be ‘anything but simple’ with Liverpool ‘not considering an easy exit, especially after having invested in him recently’.
Liverpool invested over £400m in the summer transfer window as they looked to build on Arne Slot’s success from last season, when he won the Premier League title.
Isak was signed from Newcastle United for a British record transfer fee of £125m.
The report concludes: ‘Everything will be in the hands of the Anfield board, who must decide between giving the player another chance or closing the book on the matter before it becomes a historic failure.’

Isak has been missing for Liverpool since early December after suffering a broken fibula, while he was also absent for four matches earlier in the season because of adductor pain.
Despite his injuries, there have been rumours that Isak is attracting interest from Spanish side Atletico Madrid as they prepare for Julian Alvarez’s potential departure.
Owen’s Plea for Patience
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has urged supporters to give Isak time to get back to his best form when he returns from injury in the near future.
Owen told Casino.org: “Please don’t expect miracles immediately.
“From experience, coming back from a long injury is tough; to be conditioned and ready to play at the pace of the Premier League and Champions League is difficult.
“Isak was playing really well before the injury and his last
The Reds have been in poor form this season in the Premier League with Arne Slot’s side currently fifth in the table after losing 2-1 to Brighton on Saturday.
