Liverpool Ready to Make Alexander Isak the Most Expensive Signing in English Football History π£π΄
In what could be one of the most explosive moves of the summer, Liverpool are reportedly prepared to break the all-time English transfer record to land Newcastle United star Alexander Isak.
According to multiple top sources, including Fabrizio Romano, the Reds have made a direct club-to-club approach to open negotiations with Newcastle, signaling their serious intent to secure the Swedish striker β no matter the cost.
π· Record-Breaking Bid Incoming?
With Newcastle valuing Isak at Β£150 million, Liverpool are weighing up a historic offer that would not only eclipse their own record (Β£85m for Darwin NΓΊΓ±ez) but potentially surpass Chelseaβs Β£115m purchase of MoisΓ©s Caicedo β making Isak the most expensive player in English football history.
Isak, 25, is coming off a phenomenal season, scoring 27 goals and registering 6 assists in all competitions. His performances have not only made him a fan favorite at St. Jamesβ Park, but a prime target for Europeβs elite β and Arne Slot has made him Liverpoolβs No.1 attacking priority.
π£οΈ Whatβs Holding Up the Deal?
Newcastleβs qualification for the 2025/26 Champions League complicates things. The Magpies view Isak as untouchable, especially with Financial Fair Play pressure now eased. Yet, Liverpool’s potential offer is said to be βirresistibleβ, and could force Newcastle to reconsider.
βLiverpool are going all in for Isak,β one insider said. βTheyβre ready to make him a cornerstone of their post-Klopp era.β
π΄ Why Isak?
New manager Arne Slot wants a clinical, mobile striker to lead Liverpoolβs next chapter β and Darwin NΓΊΓ±ezβs inconsistencies have left the door wide open. Isakβs technical brilliance, movement, and composure in front of goal make him a perfect fit for Slotβs dynamic, pressing system.
Isak himself has spoken highly of Liverpool in the past, saying he enjoys playing against them due to their aggressive, high-tempo style β adding, βit suits me.β
π All Eyes on Anfield
If completed, the move would redefine Liverpoolβs front line, potentially see Isak inherit the iconic No.9 shirt, and spark a new attacking era under Slot.
Now, the football world waits: Will Liverpool make history? Will Newcastle let go of their crown jewel?
The next few weeks could reshape the landscape of English football.
