Alexander Isak’s agent has revealed a shocking update about the Newcastle United star’s future amid links with Liverpool.
🚨 Isak Transfer Twist: Liverpool’s £120M Bid Back in Play After Shocking Agent Update! 🔴🔥
One of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer just took a massive turn.
Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has been at the heart of non-stop speculation, with top clubs circling — but none more aggressively than Liverpool. New boss Arne Slot is said to be a huge admirer, reportedly labeling the Swedish international his dream signing.
The Reds even tabled a world-record bid for a Swedish player — £120 million — only for Newcastle to stand their ground, insisting Isak was not for sale.
That seemed to be the end of it. Until now.
💥 In a stunning twist, Isak’s agent has just dropped a bombshell, suggesting that a move could still happen — and suddenly, the door to Anfield has been flung wide open.
While no final decision has been made, sources close to the deal say negotiations are “far from dead.” Liverpool remain eager, and Isak is reportedly intrigued by the idea of leading the line under Slot in a new-look attack.
With the transfer window still open and momentum shifting rapidly, don’t rule out one of the biggest Premier League moves of the year.
The Isak saga just got real.
🔁 Isak Transfer Saga Reignites as Agent Speaks Out Amid Shock Saudi Interest – Al Hilal Move Back on the Table?
Just when it seemed like Alexander Isak’s future was settled, the Newcastle striker’s transfer saga has exploded back into the spotlight.
With Newcastle United standing firm on their stance that the Swedish star would not be leaving this summer, Liverpool had reportedly moved on — completing a deal for Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt worth up to €95m (£82.5m).
But now, fresh comments from Isak’s agent Gonzalo Gaitán have thrown the door wide open again — and this time, the Saudi Pro League has entered the frame.
🗣️ Speaking to Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah, Gaitán said:
“We are indeed studying and analysing all options, and we may be close to finalising the next step for the player. Without revealing any details regarding whether Isak will transfer or stay with Newcastle.”
While he didn’t confirm or deny an imminent move, his words have fueled speculation that Al Hilal could be preparing a massive bid. Multiple Saudi clubs are said to be interested, but sources claim Al Hilal, managed by Simone Inzaghi, are leading the race — with the manager reportedly a long-time admirer of Isak’s style.
💰 With both Newcastle and Al Hilal under the umbrella of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), there are no expected regulatory hurdles should a deal progress — making this one of the most intriguing transfer links of the summer.
🔥 To add even more fuel to the fire, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe made the surprise decision to send Isak home before the club’s recent pre-season friendly against Celtic, which they lost.
🎙️ After the match, Howe told reporters:
“It was my decision. I sent him home due to all the speculation. The last thing he wanted was to sit in the stands watching — that wouldn’t have been fair to him.
But I’m confident he’ll still be a Newcastle United player come the end of this window.”
He added:
“It’s difficult for me to give 100% clarity on any player. Alex is happy here. He loves the club, the staff, and the team. I believe he’ll be with us when the season kicks off.”
🔮 Still, Gaitán’s ambiguous comments and Isak’s absence have reopened the uncertainty. Could Al Hilal’s financial firepower be enough to tempt Newcastle — or Isak — into a deal after all?
One thing’s clear: this saga isn’t over yet.
