Liverpool set meeting to discuss Newcastle’s Alexander Isak’s future
Personal terms reportedly agreed as Reds push for top striker signing
Liverpool, looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 season, are set to hold a decisive meeting with Newcastle United to negotiate the potential transfer of Alexander Isak, according to Sky Sport journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
The 25-year-old Swedish striker has emerged as a top target for the Reds, and reports suggest that personal terms have already been agreed between the club and the player. The next step is convincing Newcastle, who remain reluctant to part with their star forward.
Liverpool Preparing €141M+ Offer
Liverpool are reportedly prepared to submit an official offer worth €141 million (approximately £120 million) plus bonuses in an effort to lure Isak to Anfield. The striker has been in sensational form and is considered one of the most complete forwards in Europe today.
Isak, who joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, still has three years left on his contract, which runs until June 2028. This long-term deal gives the Magpies significant leverage as they weigh their options.
Isak’s Stellar 2024/25 Season
The Swedish international had a breakout year for Newcastle, registering 27 goals and 6 assists in 42 appearances across all competitions. His movement, technical ability, and finishing have drawn widespread praise, making him one of the Premier League’s most effective forwards.
He started in 41 of Newcastle’s 48 matches last season, underscoring his importance in Eddie Howe’s system.
Competition from Top Clubs
Liverpool are not alone in their pursuit. Arsenal, Barcelona, and Al-Hilal have all expressed interest in Isak this summer. However, reports from Indykaila News suggest that the striker has prioritized a move to Liverpool, attracted by the prospect of playing alongside Mohamed Salah and Florian Wirtz, another top target for the Reds.
Why Liverpool Want Isak
With question marks around the long-term future of Darwin Núñez and a desire to add more clinical edge to their frontline, Isak represents the kind of elite striker Liverpool have lacked since the departure of Roberto Firmino.
His combination of pace, height, creativity, and goal-scoring instinct aligns perfectly with new manager Arne Slot’s tactical approach.
