🚨💣𝗡𝗘𝗪 – Newcastle United are now expecting an offer from Liverpool for Alexander Isak.

🔎 Current Transfer Situation

🔹 Liverpool’s Interest and Newcastle’s Stance

• Liverpool have maintained a strong interest in signing Alexander Isak as their next marquee striker—if Newcastle United is willing to negotiate. They have not chased the deal recklessly; only if the Swede truly becomes available would they commit. (This Is Anfield, Sports Mole)
• Despite this, Newcastle have consistently held a firm position that Isak is not for sale and have the leverage, thanks to a contract running until 2028. Official representatives have stated publicly and privately they intend to keep their talisman unless an astronomical offer arrives. (This Is Anfield)

🔹 Player Intentions & Contract Talks

• Isak is reportedly leaning toward a move, having agreed personal terms with Liverpool on a potential five-year deal worth around €13M/year. That signals his readiness to leave if the clubs can reach an agreement. (Aftonbladet, The Sun)
• He did not participate in Newcastle’s pre-season tour, ostensibly due to a minor thigh injury, and has been training at his former club Real Sociedad, which perhaps underscores his desire for a transfer. (Talksport)

💷 Financial Breakdown & Valuation

• Liverpool’s initial offer is reported to be around £120 million, but Newcastle are holding out for at least £130 – £150 million, possibly with performance-based add-ons. (FourFourTwo)
• A compromise figure around £130 million plus £20 million add-ons is seen as the most realistic bridge between the two camps. (FourFourTwo)
• If completed, this would set a new British transfer record. (This Is Anfield)

🗣️ Comments from Newcastle & Eddie Howe

• Manager Eddie Howe has acknowledged that “things are going on behind the scenes,” and that contract talks are on hold for now. He reiterated the club would prefer Isak to stay, but admits it’s not fully within his control—no official bid has been received yet. (businessday.ng)
• Newcastle’s board and CEO continue to emphasize they are under no obligation and no urgency to sell. (This Is Anfield, This Is Anfield)

🔮 What Happens Next?

• Scenario 1: Liverpool submits a formal offer within the £130–150M range → Newcastle may enter negotiations if player insists.
• Scenario 2: No agreement is reached this summer → Isak complete season with Newcastle, and they attempt contract extension. Liverpool may renew interest in summer 2026, when he has two years left, giving Newcastle less control. (TEAMtalk)

📋 Summary Table

🧠 Final Thoughts

Isak’s transfer remains uncertain but increasingly possible. Liverpool have the player’s verbal commitment and financial firepower, while Newcastle still control his future with a strong contract and board-level resolve. Unless both price expectations and negotiation strategies align, Isak is likely to stay another year—or until his value becomes more negotiable.
