The head coach of the "Liverpool" club, Arne Slot, expressed his satisfaction with the transfer of Alexander Isak to this team and the decision not to include Federico Chiesa in the Champions League roster:

"The thing that pleases me the most is the successful transfer of A. Isak."

Richard Hughes, the owners, and everyone else worked very hard to make this transfer happen.

We have to properly integrate him into the club's squad. We acquired the Swede not for two weeks, but for six years."

"It was a difficult decision for me, and it wasn't easy for him either. Of course, F. Chiesa was not pleased with this decision, but he understood our agreement.

The Italian gave the kind of response you want to hear from a player, and the full-back will be with us to help in the England Cups and the Premier League."

25-year-old Alexander Isak transferred to the "Liverpool" club for 130 million pounds and will play until 2031.
