Newcastle United may be heading for a major shake-up this summer, with their star forward Alexander Isak reportedly expressing a desire to move on. According to sources, the Swedish striker has officially informed the club’s top brass of his intention to pursue a new challenge—putting several top clubs, including Liverpool, on high alert.

Despite being under contract until 2028, Isak is said to be growing increasingly frustrated behind the scenes. The breakdown of contract extension talks, unfulfilled financial promises, and doubts about the club’s direction have reportedly left the 25-year-old questioning his future at St. James’ Park.

💰 Newcastle Set Massive Price Tag

While Newcastle are not keen to lose their top scorer—who bagged an impressive 27 goals last season—the Magpies could be tempted if a club tables a bid around €150 million. It’s a steep price, but Liverpool seem determined.

The Reds have been keeping close tabs on Isak for some time and believe he could be a key part of their new-look attack under Arne Slot. Sources suggest Liverpool might look to balance the books by parting ways with some big names—namely Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Harvey Elliott—to remain within Financial Fair Play limits.

Slot is said to be convinced that Isak’s dynamic style and finishing prowess make him the perfect fit for his tactical vision.

🔁 Newcastle Already Looking at Replacements

With the writing possibly on the wall, Newcastle are preparing contingency plans. The club has reportedly initiated talks with RB Leipzig over Benjamin Sesko. However, the Slovenian forward’s release clause—believed to be between €70–80 million—may only apply under specific conditions, and it’s unclear whether Newcastle meet those.

Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is also being monitored, but Villa have rebuffed interest from both Manchester United and Newcastle, making it clear their striker is not for sale—even when £60 million was put on the table.

⚠️ One to Watch

Although Newcastle still hope to convince Isak to stay, his current stance and Liverpool’s aggressive pursuit suggest this saga could be one of the blockbuster transfer stories of the summer. Will the Magpies stand firm, or are we about to see a seismic move to Anfield?
