Don't worry - Alexander Isak is COMING

Newcastle Star Seeks Exit, Setting Stage for Record Transfer

Isak Rejects Contract Offer, Eyes Immediate Move Away from St. James' Park

Swedish striker Alexander Isak has informed Newcastle United of his desire to leave the club this summer, despite having a contract that extends until 2028. The forward has declined an offer of a new contract with a pay raise, insisting on an immediate transfer.

Isak missed Newcastle's preseason tour to Asia due to a minor thigh injury and has been training independently at Real Sociedad's facilities while he awaits a move.

Liverpool Determined to Secure Isak in Record-Breaking Deal

Sporting Director Richard Hughes Makes Striker Top Transfer Target, Unfazed by Initial Rejection

Liverpool is showing serious interest in acquiring Isak, with sporting director Richard Hughes placing the striker at the top of his recruitment list. The club understands that securing Isak's services would require a British record transfer fee, a figure Newcastle might initially be reluctant to accept.

However, Liverpool's pursuit isn't deterred by this initial setback. The club's successful acquisition of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen serves as a reminder of their persistence in landing top targets. After facing multiple rejections from the German club, Liverpool finally secured Wirtz with a bid structured at £100 million upfront plus another £16 million in add-ons – a testament to their unwavering determination.

The transfer saga surrounding Isak is just beginning, and it remains to be seen whether Newcastle will ultimately yield to Liverpool's persistent pursuit.
