Liverpool Eye Record-Breaking Move for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak

Liverpool are poised to make a bold statement in the transfer market with a record-breaking bid for Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak, following the £65.5 million sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, confirmed by Sky Sports. The Premier League champions, flush with funds from the Colombian winger’s departure, are preparing a proposal that could exceed £100 million, surpassing their previous record set with the £100 million acquisition of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer.

Isak, valued at £40 million when he joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, has seen his stock soar after scoring 21 goals in the 2024-25 Premier League season. The 26-year-old Swedish international has expressed interest in joining Liverpool, dismissing overtures from Saudi clubs. However, Newcastle are reluctant to part with their prized asset, with negotiations expected to be protracted.

This move aligns with a 2023 UEFA study highlighting top clubs’ increasing reliance on high-profile sales to fund ambitious signings, amid strict profit and sustainability regulations. Liverpool’s strategy suggests a determination to bolster their attack, potentially signaling a shift in the Premier League’s competitive landscape as the transfer window nears its close.5 web pagesUEFA financial trendsother Premier League transfers.
