Arne Slot is in urgent need of a like-for-like replacement for the Swedish striker.
Details: After it became clear that Liverpool's 26-year-old Swedish forward Alexander Isak would be sidelined for an extended period due to an injury sustained in the match against Tottenham, serious alarm bells began to ring at Liverpool over the lack of an alternative to the Swede.
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool's management, after consulting with the coaching staff, has decided to begin searching for a forward during the winter transfer window. However, this move only involves a six-month loan—just enough time for Isak to recover and return to action.
The main candidate to join Liverpool this winter is PSG striker Gonçalo Ramos, who has been identified by Slot's coaching staff as a quality replacement for Isak.
In addition to Ramos, the club is also considering Dusan Vlahovic and Ivan Toney, though these options are seen as more difficult to secure.
This season, Gonçalo Ramos has played 23 matches for PSG, scoring 9 goals and providing 1 assist. His current contract with the Parisian giants runs until 2028, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value stands at 35 million euros.
