Liverpool burns 150 million, no one knows if Alexander Isak will return
The loss of Isaac

An investment of 150 million euros burned for Alexander Isak. And with it a salary of around 345 thousand euros per week, almost 18 million per year: money blown in an instant. In the unfortunate season of the striker and Liverpool, that figure has weighed like a burden from the moment the player stepped onto Anfield Road. Everyone expected great things from him, but the only big thing – in terms of pain, fear and disappointment – ​​is the medical report that has clarified the importance of the Swede's injury: he has undergone surgery for a double fracture in his ankle and fibula, suffered in the last match against Tottenham. The operation went well – the club announces – but there is no deadline for his return. It is unknown.

And that's the answer to the question plaguing the Reds: "when will he return?".

"The Liverpool striker was injured while scoring the opening goal against Tottenham Hotspur from a free kick and was forced to be substituted," the official statement said. Following the diagnosis, surgery was performed for an ankle injury that included a fractured fibula. Isak's rehabilitation will continue at the AXA Training Centre, with no return date set."

It's a very heavy blow, especially because it comes at a delicate stage for Slot's team. Isak's fate has been truly cruel: he was injured at the very moment he was scoring a goal. The club has not yet commented on the duration of his recovery, but according to the most optimistic forecasts, he will not return to training before the end of the season. And it is impossible for him to be ready if Sweden qualifies for the 2026 World Cup.

What will the Reds do now?

Will they return to the transfer market in January or will they find other solutions? According to English media, Liverpool is evaluating the possibility of activating Semenyo's release clause from Bournemouth: around 75 million euros, with a deadline of January 10. The other alternative is the return of Harvey Elliott from Aston Villa.
