This is the biggest deal in British football history, surpassing the £ 116.5 million fee that The Kop recruited Florian Wirtz earlier this summer.
The Swedish player, 25 years old, will sign a 6 -year contract with the team of coach Arne Slot just before the summer transfer window closed at 19:00 pm on September 1 (local time).

Earlier, Newcastle resolutely refused to offer a 110 million -pound opening with an additional charge from Liverpool in early August. Even the leadership of the “injection” repeatedly affirmed that Isak was “not for sale”, and only about £ 150 million can convince Saudi owners.

However, the deal became tense when Isak publicly announced that he would not play for Newcastle anymore, missed all the matches at the beginning of the season and posted harsh messages on social networks. Last week, a member of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) co -owned Jamie Reuben came home to persuade, but Isak kept his position just wanting to join Liverpool.
Finally, less than 24 hours before the transfer market closed, Newcastle accepted to cede its number one striker for £ 130 million. Liverpool quickly responded to this requirement and brought Isak to Anfield, closing one of the dramatic and most paper transfer screens in the summer.
