Liverpool’s aggressive pursuit of Alexander Isak has hit a crucial moment, as Newcastle United have officially set their terms for any potential transfer — and they aren’t making it easy.

🔍 Newcastle’s Demands:
A minimum fee of £150 million, with no room for negotiation below that figure.
Payment structure must include upfront cash exceeding £65 million.
No player swaps will be accepted – cash-only deal.
Any deal must be finalized before Newcastle’s preseason tour, or they’ll shut down negotiations entirely.

🗣️ Club Source Says:
> “We value Alexander Isak as one of the best forwards in the Premier League. If he’s to leave, it will only be on our terms. We’re not under pressure to sell.”

⚠️ Why It’s Complicated for Liverpool:
Liverpool are already close to the £300M mark in total summer spending after landing Wirtz, Gordon, Guéhi, and Kerkez.
FFP constraints could force the Reds to offload players like Darwin Núñez or Luis Díaz before any big incoming deal.
There’s growing competition from PSG, who are monitoring the situation and could hijack the deal late with a larger offer.

🔴 Where Liverpool Stand:
Arne Slot remains fully committed to Isak, having identified him as the ideal striker to lead the new era.
Liverpool’s board is now considering structured payment options or strategic player sales to meet Newcastle’s asking price.
Talks are ongoing, but it’s clear: Liverpool must act decisively, or risk losing out.
