Liverpool may be being strongly linked with Alexander Isak, but they also reportedly have another elite striker in their sights this summer.

The Reds are seemingly prepared to pay big for the transfer of Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez, possibly as much as £142m, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

The Argentina international has been superb since leaving Manchester City for Atletico last summer, having previously been unable to establish himself as a regular at the Etihad Stadium.

It’s been reported by Give Me Sport that Liverpool figures are growing increasingly confident that they could sign Isak from Newcastle this summer.

That report suggests the Magpies would ask for as much as £120m for the Sweden international, but that sort of money could probably also see LFC land Alvarez.

Should Liverpool sign Alexander Isak or Julian Alvarez? What the stats say…

Isak and Alvarez are undoubtedly among the finest attacking players in world football right now after fantastic displays this season.

Liverpool fans would surely be very happy with either player coming in, but who’s currently got the most impressive stats?

See below for Isak and Alvarez’s respective records so far this season…

As you can see, there’s not a huge amount in it, but Isak’s numbers are perhaps slightly more impressive as he’s managed his 28 G/A in fewer games.

Isak is also doing the business in the Premier League, whereas Alvarez’s best form has come in La Liga, even if he has some experience of playing in England as well.

Overall, it’s clear that either of these players would be well worth forking out big money for, as they could revive this Liverpool squad in what could be a challenging summer.

The Merseyside giants have Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk coming towards the ends of their contracts, so that could mean a lot of spending is required to rebuild Arne Slot’s squad.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's losing streak continued on Wednesday.

Hours after Republicans in Wisconsin lost a state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin where Musk spent tens of millions of dollars of his own money, shares of his flagship electric car company fell upon news that it had badly missed Wall Street estimates for the number of vehicles it had delivered in the first quarter of 2025.

As reported by Market Watch, Tesla revealed that "it delivered more than 336,000 vehicles during the first quarter, down from 387,000 deliveries a year ago."

To put this number into context, Market Watch notes that it "was well below the average analyst estimate compiled by FactSet of 404,000 vehicles" and it "was also lower than the 'whisper' number, or what Wall Street was quietly expecting, with even the most bullish analyst projecting a number in the 360,000 range."

Although Tesla blamed the disappointing deliveries on what Market Watch describes as "the changeover to refreshed Model Y production lines" that "led to several weeks of lost production," it's also a reality that the company has been the target of a concerted boycott campaign led by progressive groups to protest Musk's role as the head of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

Sales of Tesla in Europe have fallen off a cliff in recent months, as car buyers on that continent have revolted against Musk's support for far-right political parties such as Germany's Alternative für Deutschland.
