Liverpool handed £300m Alexander Isak transfer verdict as 'exceptional' claim issued - Liverpool Echo
Liverpool's record £125 million signing of Alexander Isak cost an estimated £300 million over six years, following his refusal to train with Newcastle United to force the move.
- Last week, Alexander Isak joined Liverpool on transfer deadline day in a British-record �125 million deal, with Stefan Borson estimating the total cost at �300 million.
- Isak forced the issue by refusing Newcastle's pre-season routine, skipping the Far East pre-season tour and declaring promises broken, deeming his relationship with Newcastle irreparable before his deadline day move.
- Having not played since May, Isak acknowledged match-sharpness concerns and told Swedish media, `Not everyone has the full picture, but that's something for another day`.
- Isak is poised to make his Liverpool debut on Sunday at Burnley but is not expected to start early matches after limited international minutes.
- Observers called it an exceptional summer for Liverpool after last year's title as they reinforced the squad, while Newcastle United legend Les Ferdinand warned Isak's exit sets a challenging precedent for the Premier League transfer market.
