On September 11, Liverpool fans finally waited for a big good news: Alexander Isaac, who is worth 125 million pounds this summer, officially returned to the club after making his debut for the Swedish team on the international match day, entered the AXA training center for the first time, and integrated into the tactical system of new coach Slott.

The bidding king arrived at the team, and the Reds ushered in the "forward puzzle"

Isaac's transfer not only set a new record for Liverpool's team's history signing, but also rewritten the Premier League transfer record. His joining is regarded as an important puzzle for the Reds' offensive end, especially after the past meritorious deeds such as Mane, Firmino, and Henderson left one after another, Liverpool urgently needed a forward core who can both score goals and connect.

Although Isaac had a relatively awkward summer before the transfer - he did not participate in the preseason system and only maintained limited training - he still got a chance to play in the national team. In the game against Estonia, he made a substitute for 18 minutes, which was also his first official game in the 2025-26 season.

Compact schedule is coming: Isaac's window period

The arrival of Isaac is at a time when Liverpool's schedule is intensive:

September 14th Premier League away game Burnley

September 18th The first round of the Champions League group stage faces Atletico Madrid

September 20th Premier League Merseyside derby vs. Everton

In just one week, the Reds will usher in three fierce battles. Whether Isaac can make a debut in these three games has become the most concerned topic for all fans.

Isaac's statement: I can't wait, but I need to be cautious

When asked whether I hope to play in Burnley, Isaac gave a straightforward answer:

"Yes, of course. In my opinion, this is my ambition. However, I had a rather difficult summer, did not participate in any competitions, and had only limited training, so I think it needs to be done with an accurate judgment and analysis. What step I have come now and how much I can give. But if you ask me, of course I want to play as soon as possible."

His attitude is positive, but also reveals a calm understanding of the physical condition. Obviously, Isaac knew the risk of rashly appearing in a high-intensity Premier League environment. He hoped to find a balance point: he did not want to live up to the expectations of fans, nor did he want to cause injury risks due to his hasty comeback.

former boss's evaluation: October is the best condition?

Interestingly, the voice from Newcastle gives another judgment. They believe that even if Isaac transfer is completed, it will have to wait until the next international match day in October before it can return to its ideal state.

This evaluation is not only a kind reminder of the old generals, but also a bit of "preparing for the future". After all, Newcastle urgently needs to adjust its front line after losing Isaac, and the outside world will inevitably compare the two.

written in the end

Isaac arrived at the AXA Training Center, marking the true formation of the Reds' complete lineup in the new season. Will he make his debut in Burnley? Or should I wait until the Champions League night ignites the passion at Anfield? Or choose to usher in the hottest debut stage in the Merseyside derby?

It all depends on the judgment of Slott and the medical team. What is certain is that when the 125 million pound king put on the Reds' gown and stood on the court, Anfield will surely be in full swing.
