Liverpool break transfer record to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle

The Swedish striker becomes one of the most expensive signings in Premier League history

Liverpool secure Isak in €130m deal

Liverpool have officially reached an agreement with Newcastle United to sign Alexander Isak for a staggering €130 million, according to Fabrizio Romano. The deal makes the Swedish striker one of the most expensive players in Premier League history and the Reds’ record signing.

Negotiations were far from easy, with Newcastle reluctant to lose their star forward. However, Isak had given priority to joining the reigning Premier League champions, pushing the clubs to reach an agreement after a tense week of talks.

Medicals and contract details

The 24-year-old will undergo medical examinations in the coming hours before signing a five-year contract at Anfield. He is expected to be Liverpool’s final reinforcement of the summer transfer window, completing a squad reshaping under manager Arne Slot.

Isak’s rise to stardom

Isak joined Newcastle in 2022 and quickly became one of the Premier League’s most clinical strikers, leading the team with pace, finishing ability, and versatility across the front line. His performances caught the attention of several European giants, but Liverpool moved decisively to secure his signing.

The €130m investment puts him in the same bracket as Florian Wirtz, showing the Reds’ determination to remain competitive both in England and Europe.
