According to information published in the British tabloid The Sun, Liverpool forward Alexander Isak purchased a Doberman for protection for £30,000 (about €34,000).
The reason for purchasing the dog was threats of physical violence received by the 24-year-old footballer following his participation in matches for the Swedish national team. The footballer was threatened after the team's unsuccessful performance in the 2026 World Cup qualification. This incident raised serious concerns about the athlete's well-being.
The trend of acquiring protection dogs is increasing in popularity among English Premier League players. This is linked to a rise in burglaries and robberies targeting the homes of famous people in the UK.
In the current season, Isak has played a total of 12 matches for his club and the national team. During this time, the forward has scored one goal.
