Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak could be heading for a blockbuster summer move — but where he ends up remains the biggest mystery of all 🕵️‍♂️.

After three electric seasons at St. James’ Park, the Swedish star has informed the Magpies that he’s open to new challenges. While Liverpool are strongly tipped to make a move, a stunning offer from the Middle East has added a surprising twist to the saga.

🚨 According to sources close to the player, Saudi giants Al Hilal are prepared to roll out the red carpet for Isak — with a jaw-dropping £600,000-per-week net salary on the table! That figure would instantly catapult him into the top tier of football’s global earners 🌍💼.

Interestingly, the 24-year-old was left out of Newcastle’s pre-season squad touring Asia — a move that has only fueled speculation of an imminent exit. While Newcastle are keen to keep their frontman and are exploring a new contract offer, Isak appears ready to evaluate all possibilities.

🔴 Liverpool have already splashed the cash this summer, most recently on Hugo Ekitike, but insiders believe that won’t stop them from chasing Isak if the opportunity arises. With Ekitike likely to play centrally, Isak’s versatility and proven Premier League record could add even more firepower to Arne Slot’s forward line 🔥⚽.

But here’s the catch: if money becomes the main factor, Liverpool may struggle to compete with the Saudi war chest 💸. Al Hilal, who previously made an eye-watering bid for Kylian Mbappé, are serious players in the market and have already lured the likes of Rúben Neves and Aleksandar Mitrović to their squad.

Despite the tempting payday, it’s believed that Isak, who’s entering the peak of his career, may opt to continue competing at the highest level in Europe rather than take a big-money move to the Middle East just yet ⏳🇪🇺.

🔍 A surprising subplot? Decisions regarding his future may not even rest with Eddie Howe. Reports suggest that Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, a key figure in the Saudi-led ownership group, could personally oversee any final call on Isak’s transfer.

As the clock ticks, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool will swoop in, or if the financial muscle of Saudi football will pull off another high-profile coup 💬👀.
