The Alexander Isak to Liverpool transfer saga seems to be reaching its climax after Newcastle United agreed to sign Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart. This development could pave the way for Isak to join Liverpool, with the Reds expected to make a second bid for the striker.

Transfer Details

– Newcastle’s Agreement with Stuttgart: Newcastle has agreed to a deal worth €85 million (£73.5 million) plus €5 million (£4.3 million) in add-ons for Woltemade.

– Woltemade’s Medical: The German striker is expected to travel to Tyneside for a medical within the next 24 hours.

– Liverpool’s Bid: Liverpool’s initial bid of £110 million was rejected by Newcastle, who are reportedly looking for £150 million for Isak ¹.

Implications for Alexander Isak

– Potential Transfer: With Newcastle signing Woltemade, Isak’s departure seems increasingly likely. Liverpool is expected to make another bid, and if Newcastle agrees, the transfer could be finalized before the deadline.

– Isak’s Desire: The Swedish striker has expressed his desire to leave Newcastle and join Liverpool, refusing to train with the first-team squad until his future is resolved.

– Liverpool’s Interest: Liverpool has been actively pursuing Isak, and their interest in the player remains strong despite the arrival of Hugo Ekitike earlier this summer ².

Possible Outcomes

– Liverpool Signs Isak: If Newcastle agrees to sell Isak, Liverpool could finalize the transfer and strengthen their attack.

– Transfer Deadline Day Drama: The transfer saga could continue until the deadline, with potential twists and turns in the negotiations between Liverpool and Newcastle.

– Impact on Newcastle’s Squad: With Woltemade joining, Newcastle might still look to sign another striker, with Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen being potential targets ¹ ².
