The Alexander Isak transfer saga continues to unfold, with Liverpool keen on signing the Newcastle United striker. Here’s the latest update:

 

Newcastle’s Double Striker Update

 

Newcastle United has reportedly turned down a £50 million bid for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. The club views Larsen as a vital player and doesn’t want to lose him, especially with limited time left in the transfer window to find a suitable replacement ¹.

 

Isak’s Situation

 

Meanwhile, Alexander Isak has reportedly told Newcastle United that he considers his career with the club over, whether he joins Liverpool or not. A £110 million bid from Liverpool was rejected earlier, and it’s unclear if they’ll return with another offer. Newcastle United remains firm in their stance, insisting they won’t sell Isak under current circumstances ².

 

Liverpool’s Interest

 

Liverpool’s manager Arne Slot is reportedly keen on signing a new striker, with Isak being a top target. The Reds have already broken the British transfer record with their signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £116 million, showing their willingness to invest in top talent ³.

 

Potential Transfer Fee

 

The potential transfer fee for Isak could be substantial, with some estimates suggesting over £150 million. Newcastle United is preparing for life without Isak by scouting potential replacements, including Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic ⁴.

 

Newcastle’s Plans

 

Newcastle United is reportedly entering talks with Brighton over the signing of forward Joao Pedro, who could potentially replace Isak if he leaves. The Seagulls would be looking for around £60 million for their 23-year-old Brazil star ⁵.
