Alexander Isak Agent Has Left Door Open for Liverpool Transfer as Intrigue Grows - Liverpool Echo

NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND, JUL 20 – Newcastle United reject offers exceeding £150 million for striker Alexander Isak, who has scored 27 goals last season, amid ongoing contract and transfer speculation.

  • Liverpool agreed a transfer fee around £82 million to sign Newcastle forward Alexander Isak but the deal now appears off as Liverpool shift focus.
  • The shift followed Liverpool’s repeated approaches and Newcastle’s firm stance that Isak is not for sale, despite the player feeling unsettled.
  • Newcastle manager Eddie Howe sent Isak home from a pre-season friendly against Celtic amid transfer speculation, emphasizing Isak was never set to play due to fitness and distraction concerns.
  • Isak netted 23 goals in 34 league appearances last season, and his agent revealed that they are currently evaluating options for the player’s future but did not provide specifics about a possible transfer.
  • With Liverpool committing £79 million to sign Hugo Ekitike instead and Newcastle aiming to extend Isak’s contract, the forward’s future remains uncertain but Newcastle’s owners insist he is not for sale.
