Liverpool are on the verge of completing a British-record transfer deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United as the Premier League transfer deadline approaches. The Swedish striker has made it clear he wants to leave Newcastle, citing broken promises about his future at the club. Isak was instrumental in Newcastle’s successful 2024/2025 campaign, scoring 27 goals and providing six assists in 42 appearances, helping the team secure UEFA Champions League qualification and win the Carabao Cup against Liverpool.
Newcastle have reportedly agreed to sign Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart for just over £69 million (including add-ons), which will allow them to consider letting Isak leave. The signing of Woltemade and potential moves for other forwards like Yoane Wissa or Jorgen Strand Larsen could open the door for Isak’s departure. Liverpool is reportedly preparing a fresh £130 million bid for Isak, a sum that would shatter the British transfer record and is seen as a final effort to secure the forward before the deadline.
The transfer saga has been complicated, with Newcastle initially resisting offers and emphasizing the need for a suitable replacement before allowing Isak to leave. However, the arrivals of Woltemade and other striker targets have increased the likelihood of a deal. Isak’s clear desire to depart and Liverpool’s persistent interest have kept negotiations active, with a significant breakthrough expected imminently.
Overall, the sequence appears to be: Newcastle secures a striker replacement like Woltemade, possibly others, and then finalizes the transfer of Alexander Isak to Liverpool for a record fee nearing £130 million, which will significantly reshape both clubs’ attacking options for the season.
