Newcastle United are keeping tabs on 25-year-old Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak.

Alexander Isak is a target for Liverpool, and Newcastle United are already making contingency plans if the Swede wants to move on, as per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes. Julian Alvarez was a key player for Atletico Madrid last season, and he produced 37 goal contributions. He could prove to be an excellent addition for Newcastle United if they can get the deal done.

It will be interesting to see if the World Cup winner is ready to join them this summer. The Argentine international is currently playing for one of the biggest clubs in Spain, and he will hope to win major trophies with them. Joining Newcastle United might not be very tempting for him.

Although they have an exciting project, Newcastle United are not at the level required to challenge for league titles or the Champions League trophy. However, the Tyneside outfit are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have the resources to pay a substantial amount of money for Alvarez.

It will be interesting to see if they can convince Atletico Madrid to sell the player. The World Cup winner has played in England before with Manchester City, and he knows the league well. The 25-year-old could make an instant impact at Newcastle United if he joins the club.

Can Liverpool sign Isak?

It will be interesting to see how the future of Alexander Isak unfolds over the next few weeks. The Swedish international has been outstanding for Newcastle United, and he could improve Liverpool immensely. Recent reports have also linked him with Al-Hilal.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can convince Newcastle United to sell the player. The reds are prepared to pay a club-record fee to get the deal done. The Swedish international could transform them in the final third. His departure will be a blow for Newcastle United, but if they manage to sign a top-class talent like Alvarez, it will certainly help them bounce back.

Julian Alvarez has won several major trophies throughout his career, and he will want to join a club capable of winning silverware consistently. It remains to be seen how Newcastle United convince him to move to St. James’ Park.
