The agent of Alexander Isak, the Newcastle United striker, has provided a significant update amid growing transfer interest from several clubs ahead of the 2025 summer window. Isak, a 25-year-old Sweden international, has been linked with a move away from St James’ Park for months, with rumours escalating recently.

Liverpool has officially informed Newcastle of their intention to submit a club-record offer for Isak before the close of the transfer window. Despite this, Newcastle remains firm that Isak is not for sale. To counter Liverpool’s pursuit, the club has planned to sign Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike in a deal that could rise to €95 million including add-ons.

Alongside Liverpool's interest, Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal has emerged as a serious contender to sign Isak. Reports indicate ongoing negotiations between Al-Hilal, managed by Simone Inzaghi, and Isak’s representatives. The player is reportedly open to a potential move to Saudi Arabia before the 2025-26 season begins.

Isak’s agent, Gonzalo Gaitan, spoke with the Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah, revealing that all options for Isak’s future are being considered carefully. He remarked, “We are indeed studying and analysing all options, and we may be close to finalising the next step for the player,” while withholding specific details about whether Isak would remain at Newcastle or make a transfer.

This statement aligns with Liverpool’s ongoing pursuit, Al-Hilal’s interest, and Newcastle’s firm stance on retaining the striker—illustrating a tense and dynamic transfer situation as the summer window progresses.
