Liverpool Prepare Record-Breaking £150 Million Move for Alexander Isak
Liverpool are set to pursue a blockbuster £150 million transfer for Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak, following the anticipated sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for around £65.5 million. To fund the move, Liverpool also plan to sell up to three more players, potentially breaking the British transfer record for the second time this summer after signing Florian Wirtz for £116.5 million.
Isak, 25, has become one of the Premier League’s most lethal forwards since joining Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, netting 25 goals in 40 appearances last season. Sources reveal that contract negotiations between Isak and Newcastle have collapsed due to the club refusing to meet his £300,000-per-week wage demands. Additionally, Isak has expressed dissatisfaction with Newcastle’s lack of ambition in the transfer market this summer, fueling his desire to leave and push for an immediate transfer to Liverpool.
Despite Liverpool’s substantial summer spending spree—totaling approximately £270 million on players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong—the club views this window as critical to rebuilding their team for the next five years, with Isak being a key component of that vision. If successful, the signing would not only bolster Liverpool’s attack but also set the stage for a gradual transition of the team’s forward line, with Isak potentially eclipsing Mohamed Salah as the main striker in the future.
Liverpool’s management remains confident in securing an agreement with Isak, with plans in place to quickly finalize the deal once Newcastle’s valuation is met. The move aligns with Liverpool’s broader strategic efforts to secure top talent and maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League.
