Alexander Isak Informs Newcastle of Desire to Join Liverpool in Sensational £150M Move
Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, has reportedly told the team that he wants to explore a move away from St. James’ Park, with Liverpool emerging as his preferred destination. This shocking revelation is set to shake the Premier League transfer market.
This information was made public while the Swedish international was excluded from Newcastle’s pre-season trip to Singapore, ostensibly because of a thigh problem but widely believed to be connected to his transfer ambitions.
According to sources close to the player, Isak, 25, has made it possible for Liverpool, the current Premier League champions, to make a historic British move.
Although Liverpool recently paid £79 million to Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike, the Reds still have a strong interest in Isak and are reportedly considering a different approach after their initial attempt was rejected about ten days ago.
‘‘Once again: Alexander Isak wants Liverpool; it’s his priority as reported. No talks with Al Hilal, Chelsea or Manchester United.’’ Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano wrote on his X page.
It has been stated that Isak’s desire for a better compensation package and his ambition to win trophies are the main reasons for his intention to seek a move. He reportedly feels that he should be paid between £250,000 and £300,000 per week, like other elite Premier League attackers.
There are also rumours that Isak believes Newcastle broke a promise made by former sporting director Paul Mitchell to extend his contract at the club.
