Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has warned the Reds not to spend above £150m to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
Liverpool have been linked with several centre-backs and wingers in recent weeks, though their priority appears to be to sign Isak from Premier League rivals Newcastle United.
The Reds have already had a bid worth around £120m rejected by Newcastle, who appear to be looking to land a replacement before sanctioning his exit.
In a chat with The Overlap Fan Debate, Carragher believes that The Reds should not be spending so much money on a striker the club do not necessarily need.

“He (Isak) will be an amazing signing but from a fan’s point of view for myself, I don’t want Liverpool to spend £150M on Isak. There’s something about Liverpool buying another striker (Ekitike), and he’s backup. Something about it doesn’t feel right to me.
“I look at Isak, and he’s obviously thrown his toys out the pram once Arsenal signed a striker and Liverpool signed a striker. It feels a bit messy to me now.”
For me, when I think of Liverpool, it doesn’t look really planned. I don’t think the plan is to buy a striker for £80M, and then be looking to buy another one for £120 million.
“In terms of what Liverpool have done in the summer by bringing in players, they’ve spent a lot of money and it doesn’t feel like the Liverpool way of doing things so much.”
