While the summer heat intensifies in the European football market, Newcastle United has announced a firm position regarding one of its key strikers — Alexander Isak, reports championat.com. The English club has stated that it does not intend to sell Isak during the current transfer window and has even raised his price to a record level.
The club’s management increased Isak’s transfer value to €173 million (£150 million) to “deter” interested teams. This has become one of the year’s biggest transfer hurdles, and Liverpool’s offer of around €139 million was also rejected.
Previously, it was reported that Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal club had tried to acquire Isak. However, sources claim that the Swedish striker himself dreams of joining Liverpool, but that dream has yet to come true.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is actively continuing its transfer strategy: according to Liverpool, the club has reached a personal agreement with French forward Hugo Ekitike, one of their transfer targets. This suggests possible changes in the attacking lineup.
In the 2024/2025 season, Alexander Isak played 42 matches for Newcastle in all competitions, scoring 27 goals and providing 6 assists. His current contract with the club runs until June 2028, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at around €120 million.
In this situation, whether Isak will stay at Newcastle or move to a new club before the transfer window closes has become an intriguing topic for the football community. The club’s demand for such a high price also shows that the “game” has intensified in this area. Newcastle’s situation still leaves many questions unanswered for both Isak and the top clubs chasing him.
Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how this transfer saga will end. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
