Alexander Isak caused TTCN in the summer of 2025 to explode when officially asked to leave Newcastle. This opens the opportunity for Liverpool to jump in with a “terrible” plan that can change the Premier League next season.
Isak asked to leave
Over the past time, Newcastle internal leaks information about Isak's injury, the reason given to explain to him not participating in the trip before the season with the team. However, the truth was exposed when a series of prestigious sources in the UK such as The Times and Talksport affirmed: Isak filed an official request to be transferred.
The cause of this tension stems from financial problems. Newcastle has proposed a contract to extend with a salary exceeding the 200,000 -week milestone, the highest in the club history.
However, Isak refused and requested a higher salary, reaching the threshold of £ 300,000/week. This claim not only exceeds Newcastle's ability to pay, but also has the risk of breaking the salary structure and creating a Domino effect in the dressing room.
Isak's tough move surprised Newcastle's Board of Directors, because he was the most expensive contract in the club history (from Real Sociedad in 2022 for about 60 million pounds) and has played very well last season with 25 goals in all competitions.
Liverpool in
Liverpool, the team in the extremely busy summer in the transfer market, immediately involved. According to Sportbible, coach Arne Slot considers Isak as an important piece in the plan to refresh the attack, especially in the context of Darwin Nunez does not meet expectations. The Red Brigade has silently monitored Isak's situation over the past months and is now an ideal time to act.
The source from The Times revealed that Liverpool is willing to spend from 130 to £ 150 million to recruit Isak, making him the most expensive contract in the history of the club, even breaking the domestic transfer record in the Premier League.
On the side of Isak, he is said to be excited with the prospect of joining an ambitious club like Liverpool, especially when the Merseyside team is rebuilding forces with quality names such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez.
In addition to Liverpool, Saudi Arabia's great Al Hilal also jumped into the race. This club is willing to pay 500,000 pounds/week for Isak, nearly double the proposal from Newcastle. However, according to experts, the 25 -year -old striker prioritized continuing to play football in the peak of Europe and did not want to come to the Middle East at the present time. This makes Liverpool the number one candidate in this “blockbuster” deal.
The ambition of The Reds
Newcastle is currently in a duality. If they keep Isak, they will have to meet the great financial requirements, which is not easy to do in the context of the limit of the financial justice law. If sold, they will lose the main goalscorer and are forced to quickly find the replacement in the middle of the “hot” transfer market, making the price of the strikers monks.
Newcastle once pursued Hugo Ekitike, but this striker chose to join himself … Newcastle. Other potential goals are not cheap, and finding a striker is both effective and suitable for tactics is not a simple task for coach Eddie Howe.
If Liverpool can force Newcastle to sell Isak for themselves, they will shoot an arrow and hit two destinations. First, The Reds can reduce the power of Choi Chu, an increasingly dangerous opponent in the Premier League championship race.
Besides, Liverpool will have a high -class striker to complete the extremely formidable squad. With the middle line led by Florian Wirtz, the speed of Frimpong and Kerkez, plus Ekitike and Isak in attack, The Kop is showing the ambition to dominate England and return to the Champions League peak.
With the summer transfer of 2025, Liverpool is sending a strong message to the rest of the Premier League and Europe. If Isak has more, the red brigade will become a real obsession for every opponent.
