Liverpool could reportedly use two players in a stunning swap deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
It has been reported that Liverpool are likely to be active in the summer transfer window after only bringing in Federico Chiesa last year.
The likes of Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have all been linked with a move away from Anfield.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold is said to be closing in on a free transfer to Real Madrid, with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk also out of contract come the summer.
In turn, the Reds have been linked with the likes of Isak, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong.
It has been claimed that Newcastle are set to demand at least ÂŁ150 million for Isak, which could prove to be a problem for Liverpool.
As reported by talkSPORT, Liverpool could look to make a players plus cash offer for the striker.
Last summer, it was suggested that the Magpies were close to signing Joe Gomez and fellow defender Jarell Quansah was 'touted as a potential makeweight when the Reds were trying to prise Anthony Gordon away from St James Park'. Both defenders could now be used as part of a bid to bring Isak to Anfield.
Isak will be one of the most sought-after players this summer after his impressive displays for Newcastle.
So far in the 24/25 season, the Swedish international has managed 23 goals and five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.
Speaking about Isak earlier in the month, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said: "Arsenal want Isak, (Benjamin) Sesko is the other name on the list.
"Liverpool are also there for Alexander Isak, already made some contact with the people close to the player."
He continued: "Both clubs are interested in Alexander Isak, for Arsenal, he is the absolute top target, for Liverpool, he is one of the names they are considering in that position.
"And we will see what Newcastle want to do because they keep insisting they want to keep the player. But, we know, when there is important money on the table, sometimes, it is about the financial fair play and all these things."
