There would be no shortage of interest because he showed his quality during his time at Newcastle United.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An exit still seems doubtful<\/p>\n<p>Isak\u2019s slow start can largely be explained by his lack of pre-season, and he may still rediscover his form and confidence in the coming weeks. At his best, he could significantly strengthen Liverpool\u2019s attack. His technical ability allows him to play across the front line, making him a valuable option.<\/p>\n<p>It would be surprising for Liverpool to offload their record signing so soon after his arrival. Hamann\u2019s comments appear to be speculative, and prising Isak away from Anfield in the near future would be extremely difficult.<\/p>\n<p>While Barcelona have been mentioned as a possible destination, their ongoing financial problems make it unlikely they could present an offer acceptable to Liverpool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexander Isak has come under heavy scrutiny following his expensive switch to Liverpool, and suggestions have now emerged that he could eventually be moved on.
