A trusted source close to Newcastle United has revealed fresh details about striker Alexander Isak — and it’s news that will have Liverpool fans watching closely.

The Reds, who’ve already made waves in the market with high-profile signings like Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez, are still in the hunt for further reinforcements. With whispers surrounding potential exits for both Darwin Núñez and Diogo Jota, it’s believed that Liverpool could be eyeing a new marquee forward — and Isak’s name is once again being floated.

However, prying the Swedish international away from St. James’ Park won’t be easy. Newcastle are reportedly unwilling to entertain offers unless they exceed the eye-watering figure of £150 million.

Despite Liverpool’s recent spending spree, they’re understood to have the financial capacity to make a move happen — should Arne Slot give the green light.

Newcastle journalist Lee Ryder has now weighed in, revealing that head coach Eddie Howe is likely to spearhead upcoming contract negotiations with Isak. With top club executives Darren Eales and Paul Mitchell preparing for departures, Howe’s direct involvement could prove decisive.

Ryder also hinted at ongoing low-key discussions between Howe and Isak, noting the manager’s hands-on approach and close communication with his players. While rumors suggest Isak could soon sign a lucrative new deal worth £200,000 per week, Ryder clarified that Newcastle haven’t confirmed such an agreement yet.

For now, the 25-year-old forward appears settled on Tyneside and isn’t pushing for a transfer — though Liverpool’s interest ensures this is a developing saga worth keeping an eye on. Isak, who netted 23 Premier League goals last season, continues to enhance his reputation as one of the most clinical finishers in the league.
