Liverpool Agrees €150M Deal to Sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle

Liverpool has agreed on a deal to sign Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United on a long-term contract for a fee of around €150 million, reported “Sky Sports News” and “The Athletic” on Sunday, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

Lengthy negotiations over the deal have dominated the Premier League transfer window, which closes on Monday, with Liverpool’s earlier offer of €127 million for the 25-year-old rejected earlier in August.

Neither Liverpool nor Newcastle immediately responded to requests for comment outside normal working hours early Monday morning.

Isak scored 23 league goals last season, leading Newcastle to a fifth-place finish and qualification for the Champions League, while he also scored in the League Cup final against Liverpool, handing them their first domestic trophy in 70 years.

He did not join Newcastle on their preseason tour and was forced to train separately due to a tense clash with the club, which manager Eddie Howe described as a “lose-lose” situation.

However, Isak accused Newcastle of breaching promises and misleading fans in a statement confirming he wanted to leave the northeast club, saying the change was “in the best interest of everyone.”
