The Sweden international has been desperate to join Liverpool for over a month and Newcastle have finally sanctioned a sale for a fee that could reach €150 million after they purchased Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade over the weekend.

Isak is expected to compete with Hugo Ekitike for a starting berth under Arne Slot, and he has travelled to Liverpool to undergo his medical and sign a six-year contract with the Anfield outfit.

After confirming Isak’s transfer in the early hours of Monday morning, Romano has also announced imminent moves for Dodi Lukebakio (Sevilla to Benfica), Benja Cremaschi (Inter Miami to Parma), Valentin Atangana (Stade Reims to Al-Ahli) and Martial Godo (Fulham to Strasbourg).

In addition, the transfer expert has revealed that Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson will join Fenerbahce, Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Matt O’Riley will join Marseille and RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda will join Juventus.
