Liverpool Near Deal for Alexander Isak as Newcastle Softens Stance Amid Transfer Drama
Liverpool is closing in on signing striker Alexander Isak on the final day of the summer transfer window, following reports that Newcastle United’s Saudi owners are now willing to sell. Despite this breakthrough, negotiations remain tense over the transfer fee, as Liverpool resists paying the initially demanded £130 million, which would have set a new English record.
The saga has been one of the most talked-about transfers this summer, marked by Newcastle’s initial refusal to sell, Isak’s strong desire to move, and Liverpool’s patient pursuit. Isak, who has openly expressed frustration by skipping preseason activities and criticizing Newcastle’s contract promises, is eager to join Liverpool, his dream club.
Newcastle’s position shifted after securing a high-profile replacement, Nick Woltemade, for £69 million. With a new forward on board, the club appears more open to letting Isak leave, though they continue to pursue other striker targets, including Wolves’ Jorgen Strand Larsen, whose club has firmly rejected multiple bids.
As the English transfer window deadline looms, the next few hours are crucial to finalizing the deal. Liverpool remains committed to acquiring Isak but is careful not to meet Newcastle’s highest price demands, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion to one of the summer’s biggest transfer stories.
