The future of Newcastle United’s star striker, Alexander Isak, has taken a dramatic turn after manager Eddie Howe provided a significant update during a pre-season press conference in Seoul.

Though Isak is still under contract with Newcastle until 2028, Howe hinted that the club’s grip on the situation may be slipping. Speaking candidly, the Magpies boss acknowledged that while they technically hold the cards, external pressure—especially from Liverpool—could change the outcome.

> “He’s still a Newcastle player, under contract. But how things unfold… well, that’s not entirely within my control,” Howe admitted, according to Sky Sports.



🚨 Reports swirling across Europe suggest Liverpool are preparing a staggering £120 million bid for the Swedish forward, following Luis Diaz’s departure to Bayern Munich. Isak is believed to have already agreed to personal terms with the Merseyside club, per claims from Swiss sources.

Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, Isak appears determined to continue in the Premier League—and specifically, with the reigning champions. With high-profile signings like Wirtz, Ekitike, Frimpong, and Kerkez already through the door, Liverpool seem poised to make Isak their final attacking statement of the summer.

The striker has reportedly handed in a formal transfer request and has been left out of Newcastle’s current pre-season squad—signaling that a departure may be closer than ever.

👀 All eyes are now on the negotiation table. If completed, this could become one of the biggest and most impactful moves of the window.
