Liverpool’s pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is heating up as reports suggest the Reds are ready to return with an even bigger offer after their initial bid was turned down.
The Merseyside giants, fresh off their Premier League triumph, had already tested Newcastle’s resolve with an offer believed to be around £110 million. However, according to fresh claims from Spain, Arne Slot’s side are prepared to raise the stakes significantly, with a figure of up to €160 million now on the table — a deal that would smash the current Premier League transfer record.
Isak’s situation at St James’ Park is becoming increasingly tense. The Swedish forward has made his desire to leave clear, while Newcastle remain adamant that their star man is not for sale. The standoff has already seen the striker miss pre-season training and sit out the opening league fixture, further fueling speculation of an imminent exit.
For Liverpool, the attraction is obvious — Isak is widely regarded as one of the finest strikers in the league, and his arrival would add serious firepower to their title and Champions League ambitions. For the player himself, a move to Anfield would provide the stage to challenge consistently for the game’s biggest prizes, something Newcastle have yet to fully deliver despite their recent progress.
With tensions escalating and the player hinting on social media that his relationship with Newcastle has broken down beyond repair, the pressure is mounting on Eddie Howe’s side. The big question now: will Liverpool’s record-breaking offer be enough to force the Magpies into a reluctant sale?
