Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has weighed in on the matter, expressing his concerns about Isak's price tag. In his column, Carragher stated that if Liverpool were to bid £130M+ for Isak, it would be too much and they would expect a player of the same caliber as Kylian Mbappe. Carragher believes that Isak's value lies in his potential, but he has yet to prove himself as a consistent goal-scorer.

Carragher also highlighted Isak's lack of durability, citing his limited number of starts in the league over the past three seasons. He noted that Isak has relied heavily on penalties to score goals, which is not a sustainable strategy in the long term.

Carragher emphasized the importance of Liverpool acting quickly to secure Isak's signature. He believes that the club needs to be ruthless in their pursuit of a new striker, as they cannot rely on Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Hugo Ekitike to carry the goalscoring burden. With Salah set to miss several games due to the Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool needs to have a plan B in place.

Carragher's comments suggest that Liverpool must be prepared to think outside the box and consider alternative options if they are to land a top-class striker like Isak.
