Liverpool agree British record £125m fee for Alexander Isak
- Liverpool have secured Alexander Isak from Newcastle United by agreeing to a British-record transfer fee of £125 million on Deadline Day, September 1, 2025.
- The deal came after a lengthy and contentious transfer saga during which Isak openly criticized Newcastle for failing to uphold their commitments and expressed his intention to move on from the club.
- Isak, 25, scored 23 Premier League goals last season but missed Newcastle's preseason and first three league games due to injury, training separately amid tensions.
- The Swedish striker is scheduled for a medical on Monday morning ahead of finalizing a six-year agreement with Liverpool, further boosting their summer acquisitions following Florian Wirtz’s £116 million transfer.
- This transfer extends Liverpool's record-breaking acquisitions this window and signals their intent to strengthen the squad ahead of a competitive season.
