Liverpool are pushing hard in their efforts to sign Newcastle United’s star forward Alexander Isak, as talks between the clubs have officially commenced. Sources close to the deal describe it as “serious and accelerating”, with Isak open to the move and personal terms no longer an obstacle.
💣 Key Developments:
Liverpool have made contact with Isak’s camp weeks ago — and the striker has made it clear he’s intrigued by Arne Slot’s project.
The Swedish international, currently on a £300,000-a-week deal at Newcastle, is considered one of the most lethal finishers in Europe, with many labeling him the “best striker in the world” outside the elite Messi-Mbappé-Haaland trio.
Club-to-club negotiations are now underway, with Liverpool believed to be preparing a structured offer including a high guaranteed fee and significant bonuses.
📈 Why This Matters:
Isak scored 21 Premier League goals last season despite Newcastle’s struggles — showing immense movement, composure, and elite technique.
Arne Slot views him as the ideal No.9 to lead a refreshed attack next season, potentially in a front three alongside Wirtz and Díaz or Salah (if he stays).
The move signals Liverpool’s willingness to compete at the highest level again, going toe-to-toe with Europe’s best.
🔥 What’s Next:
Talks will continue this week, with Liverpool aiming to strike a deal before pre-season begins.
Newcastle’s financial situation could make them more open to selling, especially if the offer nears the £90–100M mark.
Anfield could be witnessing the birth of a new era—and Alexander Isak m
ay soon be the face of it.
