Newcastle United might soon be forced to make a major decision regarding Alexander Isak’s future, as the star striker’s new contract demands could shake things up at St James’ Park.
According to talkSPORT reporters Alex Crook and Joe Moore, the Swedish forward is seeking an eye-watering £300,000-a-week deal to extend his stay— a figure that would see him break into the Premier League’s top ten earners.
Despite being under contract until 2028, Isak’s representatives believe this summer could be the right moment to renegotiate terms. However, the hefty salary request is reportedly causing tension behind the scenes.
🚫 Not for Sale… Yet? Newcastle continue to insist that their 25-year-old goal machine isn’t going anywhere, even amid growing interest from Liverpool and a few Saudi clubs. But with the player seemingly unsettled and missing from the squad during their recent preseason clash with Celtic, questions are mounting about his long-term commitment.
👀 Liverpool Watching Closely Reports suggest Liverpool have already made initial enquiries, signaling they could table a serious offer should Newcastle shift their stance. With the Reds already snapping up Hugo Ekitike in a deal that could hit £78 million, the idea of signing another top-class striker like Isak is ambitious—but not out of the question.
Isak, who found the net 27 times last season—including the decisive Carabao Cup final goal against Liverpool—has proven he can perform on the biggest stages. His situation now leaves Newcastle with a choice: break the bank or consider a big-money sale.
✍️ Double Deal or Dream Move? It’s unclear whether Liverpool would pursue both Isak and Ekitike, but fans are already buzzing about the potential of a fearsome forward duo. With Florian Wirtz also arriving in a club-record move, the Merseyside giants clearly mean business this summer.
As it stands, Alexander Isak’s future hangs in the balance—will he stay, go, or spark a summer transfer tug-of-war? The coming weeks could be decisive. 👀
