JAKARTA - Liverpool will reportedly make an offer of around 40 million euros (IDR 660 billion) to La Liga club Real Sociedad to bring Alexander Isak.

A product of AIK Solna's academy in Sweden, Isak was likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the early years of his career for his goal-scoring prowess. This led the young striker to make a big move to Borussia Dortmund in January 2017. Unfortunately, in the Bundesliga, it didn't live up to Isak's expectations.

In two years with the Black Yellow team, Isak made just 13 senior appearances, scoring one goal before being loaned out to Willem II in January 2019. Isak thrived at the Dutch club, bagging 14 goals in 18 games. This is what prompted Real Sociedad to sign him the following summer.

Since moving to Spain, Isak has gradually developed into a consistent player for La Real. From 102 games, he has scored 38 goals and six assists.

Isak scored nine league goals in his debut season, and 17 in La Liga last term. Actually not very productive either, but the number of goals the Swedish striker has increased from season to season.

This season, he has scored three goals in ten games and has played a key role in Real Sociedad's climb to the top of the La Liga table. Apart from that, he is also an important player for the Swedish national team, where he has scored eight goals in 29 matches.

Isak's progress did not go unnoticed by a number of top clubs, including Barcelona, ​​who were interested in signing him last summer. Now interest in Isak continues to grow. Arsenal has identified the 22-year-old as a priority target.

Yes, Liverpool is considering a move to bring in the Swede. The Reds are in the market to add to their attacking unit as Jurgen Klopp needs to incorporate some young players into his attack.

Mohamed Salah remains the main one. But, next year, it will be 30 years old, just like Sadio Mane. Roberto Firmino, meanwhile, is in his thirties. Furthermore, Liverpool does not have a natural center-forward apart from Divock Origi, who is often on the bench.

So, there are rumors of the Merseysiders looking to tackle this situation. That leads to Karim Adeyemi from RB Salzburg. However, Isak's name has also emerged as an option for Liverpool, with El Nacional claiming that the Reds see him as someone who fits into Klopp's side.

For that, they are also ready to make an offer of around 40 million euros to sign Isak. However, given that his contract at La Real runs until 2026, the La Liga leaders may want a bigger fee for the Sweden international.
