Alexander Isak has openly expressed his sentiments regarding Liverpool following the revelation of a β€˜record bid’ for his transfer.

Alexander Isak Speaks Out Amid Liverpool Transfer Talks: β€œI Really Enjoy Playing Against Them” πŸ”΄πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

Alexander Isak’s future is once again in the spotlight as Liverpool step up their pursuit of the prolific Newcastle United striker. With 45 Premier League goals over the past two seasons, the Swedish international has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards β€” and the Reds are keen to bring him to Anfield.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have initiated direct discussions with Newcastle over a potential record-breaking deal for the 25-year-old. Romano stated:

β€œLiverpool made a club-to-club approach with Newcastle to discuss a record bid for Alexander Isak. The decision rests with Newcastle, as they have no intention of selling Isak and are looking to offer him a new contract.”

πŸ’· Newcastle’s Β£150m Stance

Newcastle, having secured Champions League qualification for the 2025/26 season, are understandably reluctant to part with their talisman. As reported by The Telegraph back in December, the Magpies have set a price tag of Β£150 million on Isak β€” a clear message that only a monumental offer would be entertained.

David Ornstein of The Athletic further emphasized that Isak is content at Newcastle, and is expected to be central to Eddie Howe’s European ambitions. Still, speculation remains alive, and if Liverpool meets Newcastle’s valuation, the final decision could fall to the player himself.


πŸŽ™οΈ Isak on Liverpool: β€œA Style That Suits Me”

Adding fuel to the fire are Isak’s own comments about Liverpool earlier this year, where he praised the club’s playing style and competitiveness.

β€œI really enjoy the games against Liverpool because I think they’re not too different from us,” Isak told The Gazette in March. β€œBoth teams play a high-pressing game and are direct, which creates many counter-attack opportunities β€” this style suits me well.”

Ahead of the Carabao Cup final, which Newcastle went on to win 2-1, Isak also spoke of his respect for Virgil van Dijk and Liverpool’s backline, which has since been strengthened by the arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.

β€œI wouldn’t say I fear anyone, that’s a strong word,” he said. β€œI have a lot of respect for Van Dijk and their defense. I focus on my performance; if I do the right things and play my best, it will benefit the team.”


πŸ” What Happens Next?

With Liverpool intensifying their search for a new No. 9 and Isak reportedly their top target, all eyes are now on how Newcastle respond to this approach. The player’s admiration for Liverpool’s style β€” coupled with his elite finishing and tactical awareness β€” makes him an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s high-energy system.

But prying him away from a Champions League-bound Newcastle will be no small feat. Liverpool may have to shatter their transfer record to even open formal negotiations.

One thing is certain: if Isak is given the choice, his prior praise for Liverpool might carry more weight than ever
