Alexander Isak has informed Newcastle United that he wants to explore a transfer away from the club after being left out of the team's pre-season tour to Singapore. The Swedish striker, who scored 23 goals last season and played a crucial role in Newcastle's Carabao Cup victory, has attracted interest from major clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal, and Al Hilal.

Despite Newcastle’s initial stance that Isak was not for sale, the forward has taken matters into his own hands by expressing his desire to leave rather than signing a new contract with the Champions League-qualified club. Liverpool, having recently signed Hugo Ekitike for £79 million, are reportedly considering a British record transfer fee of £150 million to secure Isak’s services, escalating the stakes significantly.

Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed these developments, revealing that Newcastle are already evaluating potential replacements for the 25-year-old striker. Although Isak’s omission from the pre-season squad was officially attributed to injury concerns, insiders suggest that this move is linked to the ongoing transfer discussions.

Isak’s decision marks a significant shift in Newcastle’s transfer dynamics and could trigger one of the most expensive deals in British football history if Liverpool or another interested club follow through with their intentions.
