Liverpool’s summer transfer business could be about to get even more dramatic as the Reds continue their pursuit of Newcastle United’s star striker, Alexander Isak. 🔥
Reports suggest that the Swedish international is open to a move away from St James’ Park, and Liverpool are right at the front of the queue. But snapping him up won’t come cheap… 🤑
đź’¸ A Record-Breaking Deal in the Making?
Newcastle have slapped a staggering £150 million price tag on the 25-year-old, who bagged 27 goals last season and has become one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards. If Liverpool are serious, they’ll need to break the bank—not just for the transfer fee, but for his wages too.
It’s believed Isak would land a weekly wage of around £250,000, putting him on par with new signing Hugo Ekitike. That figure would make Isak Liverpool’s third-highest earner, behind only Mohamed Salah (on a reported £400k per week) and Virgil van Dijk (around £385k weekly). 🚨
Considering he currently earns approximately £120,000 at Newcastle, Isak could see his salary more than double if the move goes through. That’s a tempting incentive.
🧳 Signs Point to a Possible Exit
Speculation intensified after Isak failed to travel with the Newcastle squad for their pre-season tour of Asia. This follows an earlier absence from their 4-0 defeat to Celtic—an omission reportedly linked to ongoing transfer noise.
Although Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has expressed his desire to keep the striker, his latest comments suggested uncertainty:
> “He’s still our player and under contract, but I don’t have full control over what happens next. I’d love him to stay, but we’ll have to see.”
That’s a much more cautious tone from Howe—and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.
⚽ What’s Next for Liverpool?
With a summer spend already approaching £300 million—following high-profile arrivals like Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Ekitike—bringing in Isak would cap off a blockbuster window. But it could also mean Liverpool abandon their chase for a new left-winger and use Ekitike or even rising star Rio Ngumoha on the flank.
Either way, Isak’s future is looking increasingly uncertain—and Liverpool fans have every reason to keep their eyes glued to the updates.
Stay tuned… 👀
