Newcastle United’s star striker, Alexander Isak, has once again taken center stage in this summer’s transfer drama—and now, he’s made his intentions crystal clear.

Currently honing his skills with Real Sociedad, his former club, the Swedish international has addressed swirling rumours linking him with a blockbuster move to Manchester United. This comes just weeks after Liverpool’s record-breaking bid for the forward was turned down.

Isak, known for his blistering pace, elite finishing, and sharp dribbling, remains one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers. Only Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah have outscored him in the Premier League since last season, with Isak bagging 44 league goals.

🚫 Liverpool Pull Out – But Isak Still Hopes

Liverpool, under the guidance of Arne Slot, had tabled an offer in excess of £100 million, aiming to bring Isak to Anfield. However, Newcastle stood firm, reportedly holding out for a staggering £150 million, leading the Reds to halt negotiations—for now.

Despite the breakdown, Isak’s camp remains hopeful. Reports suggest a full personal agreement between the striker and Liverpool is already in place, potentially running until 2031, should a deal be revived.

😤 Manchester United Rejected

Meanwhile, Manchester United, under new boss Ruben Amorim, are actively seeking a new frontman after enduring a goal-shy campaign last season. With names like Benjamin Sesko on their radar and little success in securing a deal, the Red Devils turned their attention to Isak.

But the response? A firm no.

Respected journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed on social media that the Swedish forward has no interest in joining United. According to his update, Isak has made it known that Liverpool is the only club he’s willing to sign for this window.

🛫 Isak Goes Rogue?

In a twist that stunned Newcastle fans, the striker was recently absent from team training, sparking speculation about his commitment to the club. It was later revealed that he had flown back to Spain, training privately with Real Sociedad in what many see as a calculated move to force an exit.

In total, Isak finished the 2024/25 season with 27 goals and 6 assists across all competitions—taking his Magpies tally to 62 since joining. His clinical edge and electric presence in the box continue to make him a red-hot asset.
