Liverpool have been urged to cut their losses on Alexander Isak, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain identified as possible destinations for the struggling striker.
The Swedish forward joined Liverpool from Newcastle United last summer in a British-record £125 million transfer, but his time at Anfield has been heavily affected by injuries.
Isak has reportedly missed 36 games through injury since his arrival and has endured several spells on the sidelines, including a serious leg fracture that required surgery in December.
His latest injury setback came while representing Sweden during the international break, forcing him to withdraw from the national squad. He has also missed Liverpool’s recent fixtures, including crucial matches against Manchester City and LASK.
😳 IRAOLA’S PLAYING STYLE RAISES CONCERNS
Speaking on talkSPORT’s Fiery Fridays, Angelina Kelly questioned whether Isak is suited to Andoni Iraola’s demanding style of football.
She argued that the Liverpool manager’s high-intensity approach could increase the risk of further injuries for the 27-year-old striker, suggesting that a team offering more rotation and recovery time might suit him better.
Kelly named Barcelona and PSG as potential destinations, adding that Liverpool could sell the forward and reinvest the money in other areas of the squad.

Adrian Durham agreed that Isak’s expensive move has failed to deliver the expected results, describing him as a potential contender for one of the worst signings in Premier League history in terms of value for money.
However, he stressed that this does not mean Isak is a poor player, but rather that the transfer has proved to be a bad fit amid injuries and changing circumstances at Liverpool.
Durham also called for Liverpool to consider selling Florian Wirtz, who arrived for £116 million, arguing that the club may need a major squad rebuild, particularly in midfield.
The big question now is whether Liverpool should give Isak more time to recover and prove himself, or cash in on the £125 million striker before things get worse.
