According to a source from Sky Sport Switzerland, striker Alexander Isak agreed a 5 -year contract with Liverpool. This is an important step in the deal is expected to break the transfer record of English football.
Isak is said to have turned the green light for Liverpool 2 weeks ago, after the informal approach of the Anfield team. Despite 3 years of contract with Newcastle, Isak expressed his desire to leave this summer.
He did not participate in the Asian tour of Chich Choi on the grounds that “mild thigh injury”, but the British media believed it was related to the behind -the -scenes movements.
Recently, Sky Sport Switzerland revealed “a 5 -year contract has been launched by Liverpool and the salary is completely consistent with Isak's expectations”. The Swedish striker nodded at this proposal and now only waiting for Liverpool to negotiate the transfer fee with Newcastle.
Isak's agreement with personal terms is an important step, because Liverpool is in need of adding a high -class striker after preparing to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for a fee of about 65 million pounds. This amount will help The Reds reinvest in attack and Isak is considered the perfect piece in the diagram of the new coach Arne Slot.
Newcastle is currently pricing Isak at £ 150 million, but Liverpool believes that the proposal of 120 million + surcharges will be convincing enough. However, the Newcastle side still holds the initiative and only agrees to let the number one striker go if he finds the appropriate replacement. They are contacting Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig) and Younge Wissa (Brentford) to fill the space if Isak leaves the team.
Although there has been no official agreement between the two clubs, the fact that Isak has reached personal agreement and is willing to move to Anfield showing the deal is progressing in a positive way. If completed, this will be the largest contract in Liverpool history and can become the most expensive deal in the Premier League.
Currently, all eyes are poured to St. James' Park and Anfield, where the future of one of the best Premier League strikers is about to be decided.
