The future of Alexander Isak is once again in the spotlight — and this time, it’s not just about transfer interest. The Swedish striker has reportedly laid down his wage expectations as Newcastle look to tie him down with a new contract, but the figure is turning heads.
According to multiple sources, Isak is seeking a staggering £300,000 per week to commit his future to the Magpies. That demand has reportedly caught Newcastle by surprise, given the club was only prepared to stretch to around £200,000 weekly — a significant sum in itself, but still short of what Isak is asking.
Transfer expert Graeme Bailey hinted that while the figure isn’t entirely outlandish for a top-tier forward, it’s still pushing the boundaries of Newcastle’s current wage structure. Talks remain ongoing, and the club hasn’t ruled out making a compromise — though it’s far from guaranteed.
👀 Meanwhile, Liverpool are quietly monitoring the situation. With their recent spending spree and the looming arrival of Hugo Ekitike, it’s clear the Reds aren’t shy about offering big wages. In fact, if they were to match Isak’s demands, he’d rank just behind Salah and Van Dijk in their pay hierarchy.
The gap between Newcastle’s offer and Isak’s expectations may open the door for Liverpool — but whether the Magpies are willing to entertain any offers is another matter entirely. For now, their stance remains firm: Isak is not for sale.
Still, in football, stances can change fast — especially when the right number hits the table. Stay tuned… this story is far from over. 🔥
